Sorry, we're dealing with users here not developers. I see it as potentially more harmful than good. When I look at extension-errors.log the first thing I see is
"Extension "AI Output" failed to load because a dependency was not met. Dependency:: type: executable location: path string: pstoedit"
We discussed this just recently. The only thing remaining to do is to add a <description> element to each inx file. This will be a human-readable string, for example "Install Skencil (from www.skencil.org) to be able to import Skencil files into Inkscape." Then it will be shown in the log. All we need is voluteers to write these descriptions.
Hey,and if they turn the message off. How do they get it to show again if they want to check to see whether their installation has been successful, and they have forgotten where to look?
It's the same problem as with all other "Don't show it again" checkboxes that are pretty common in software. How do other programs work around this?
