how to open the setting dialog?

[todatamining]

System

• OS: ubuntu18.04

• Your version of the extension (visible in the "about" tab of the preferences window): I don't know. There is no about menu in this extension. There is emoji selection menu. But I think its the latest version of 12/29/2020, because I clone the git repo.

• Your version of GNOME Shell: GNOME Shell 3.28.4

Description of the bug

Is your bug already reported? [y/n]: there is a bug "Setting dialog does not load #101", which is an old version. I searched prefs.js and I can't find "always-show-label" in this js. I am using the latest code download from git and install it manually.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. git clone https://github.com/maoschanz/emoji-selector-for-gnome.git or select "download ZIP"
2. go the cloned repo or extract the ZIP, then open a terminal in the project's directory, and run ./install.sh
3. restart the GNOME Shell environment
4. I didn't see the setting dialog, and there is no option to open it.

Expected behavior

open the setting dialog automatically or there is a way to open the setting dialog

it works like with any other existing extension... How do you manage them?

• if you use the web interface, there is an "options" button next to the name of the extension
• if you use gnome-extensions-app, there is an "options" button next to the name of the extension nevermind it doesn't exist on 18.04
• if you use the native gnome-shell-extension-prefs, there is an "options" button next to the name of the extension
• if you use gnome-tweaks, there is an "options" button next to the name of the extension

Thanks a lot for looking into this issue! I am not familiar with gnome-extensions. emoji-selector-for-gnome is the only gnome-extension I have ever used. I tried gnome-shell-extension-prefs, and I can change the setting now :+1:
