Extension Manager:Install Locations: Difference between revisions

These install locations are for the purpose of allowing outside applications or the OS to provide extensions to enhance the user's experience. The add-ons installed here will be optional for the user. When new items are detected the user will be offered them during the next startup, they may decline to install them. If they decline then they will be able to add them at a later stage through some as yet undetermined UI. If they have added them then they can uninstall them, and again they may add them again later if they wish. Users cannot however upgrade these items. They are considered as managed by outside applications which should take care of upgrading them.

As the items in these locations are managed externally, any that aren't compatible with the application will not be shown to the user.
