Description dmpop 2008-07-17 09:53:26 UTC 
Prior to version 3.0, the Extension manager had the Export option that allowed
user to export any installed extension as an .oxt package. This feature was
removed in OpenOffice.org 3.0. I develop an OpenOffice.org extension called
Writer's Tool, and the Export feature has always been extremely useful for me.
Using it, I could modify the macros in the extension, and then quickly export it
as an .oxt package. Without the Export feature, modifying the existing extension
and then saving it as an .oxt package becomes a major inconvenience. Unless
there is another way to export an installed extension, I vote for bringing the
Export feature back to the Extension Manager.

This has nothing to do with scripting, but with extensions in general

ab->jl: Please have a look

@bh: Maybe the macro development work flow would be a reason for an export.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
