Download latest version of an extension without installing
Overview
It would be good to be able to download the latest version of an extension without installing it for security reasons.
Current behaviour
- an extension that was previously installed but since disabled or uninstalled remains present in the extension directory
- the extensions management ui provides buttons to download and install
Proposed behaviour
- an extension that was previously installed but since disabled or uninstalled remains present in the extension directory
- the extensions management ui provides buttons to "download" or to "download and install"
Comments
Of course best practice is to remove any extension which is uninstalled, but disabled extensions are also present in the filesystem. Being able to update extensions that are not installed, improves security as the latest stable code can be downloaded.
