Extension log Extension

Keep track of all your old extensions, as well as current and past states of the extensions still installed. \"Extension log\" logs when an extension is installed, uninstalled, upgraded, enabled or disabled.

View all these informations in a table sorted by name, state (enabled, disabled, uninstalled), extension type, or id. With a list of events associated with each extension ever installed (as long as \"Extension log\" is always enabled).

Aside from its main purpose, \"Extension log\" records a log of the date and version of every chrome update.

You can save the whole log history, in case of crash. Right click the extension icon and select \"Export log\" (save the whole page or one of the textareas). No restore function available yet, but you can access the stored values manually from the background page's javascript console (and update from there if necessary).

EL allows you to save extensions packages in its original format or as a zip file.
