Continuing the discussion from Can't update Eneroth's Solid Tools:
Very interesting ....
I just took another look at my installed extensions.Your Eneroth Solid Tools now shows a good, not outdated signature. This is a change from yesterday.
Looking over my other extensions:
I see that one extension authored by Sketchup is unsigned (SketchUp Attribute Helper).
I have a number of @thomthom's extensions. Only 1 has a current signature - the rest are signed, but the signature is outdated. And this is from a Trimble employee!
All of @tig's extensions show outdated signatures on my system, and while @Fredo6's LibFredo6 has a current signature, his BezierSpline has an outdated signature.
Given that all these extensions are ones I use regularly - and trust - what, if anything, can I conclude about the value of signed extensions?
If I restrict myself to choosing to use only extensions with a current signature, I'll lose a lot of the functionality I rely on. I'm not willing to do that.
Maybe I should restrict myself to extensions with signatures, whether they are current or outdated? Nope. There are a couple of completely unsigned extensions that I rely on.
My conclusion? I think I'll place my trust in the people who authored the extensions - regardless of signature status. I'll worry only when I'm considering installing an extension from an unfamiliar author - in which case I'll ask here first!
