Howdy Anatoly,

In your Introduction to Personal Stock Monitor Extensions article, in the Finishing Up paragraph, you state, "Extension management is based on version number, so once an extension is installed it can easily be updated in-place as long as don't move the xml file."

How do I do this?

I've found that after editing the code in an extension file, the extension must be UN-installed from PSM. Then PSM must be exited, PSM re-started, the extension installed, PSM exited again ... AND then re-start PSM yet again. Otherwise the changes do not show up in PSM.

It would be really GREAT if I didn't have to do all of this to check one line of code.

Thanks!

After editing the code, you have to bump the version number, then select the extension and use the Check for Updates button. It should realize the extension has changed and let you install the updated one, then all you have to do is restart PSM.

BTW, even if you don't bump the version number, you can uninstall the old extension and install the new one without exiting PSM, then just restart PSM for the changes to take effect.

No, there is no way to update the extension without restarting PSM at least once.

Thank you Anatoly. Both of these suggestions are helpful
