Item764: Additional extensions installed via configure "FindMoreExtensions" get not listed in the "Installed Version" column and are not "upgradeable"

What works:

All extensions distributed with the 1.0.0 Release package are listed in the column "Installed Version" in /bin/configure?action=FindMoreExtensions with their revision / version and also have an 'Upgrade' link in the last column.

What doesn't work:

Configure seems to not acount for additional installed extensions here. I installed NatSkin including all its dependencies and enabled them. But none of them got an entry in this column. They seem to not get detected by configure as installed. After successful installations of the extensions configure also states 'Install' insted of 'Upgrade' for the just installed extensionsthe next time it's visited.

How it is supposed to work:

/bin/configure?action=FindMoreExtensions should behave the same way for additional extensions as it does for "basic" extensions.

---

NatSkin does not appear to be ported to Foswiki yet; it splatters files all over the "TWiki" installation tree. There is nothing wrong with configure per se, it is NatSkin's problem.

There is an argument that says configure should look in the TWiki tree if the compatibility plugin is installed, though.

Done
