tomoki1207
[Marketplace] Install via Marketplace not possible
Trying to install this extension via the VS Code integrated Extensions Marketplace does not work.
How to reproduce:
ctrl + shift + p
ext install tomoki1207.pdf
Just opens the search page of the marketplace not finding the requested extension.
Very confusing for me is that it is listed here.
Furthermore i suggest to add the following section to the readme:
## Install precompiled
- Download VISX for [latest release](https://github.com/tomoki1207/vscode-pdfviewer/releases/latest)
- Install VISX via Marketplace Menu in VSCode `Install from VSIX...`
- ...
- Profit
If you are using Arch Linux or Manjaro, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/107997#issuecomment-703245178. The same issue happens with VSCodium.
Oh, thanks - you are correct. I am using Arch. I solved this problem by downloading the VISX from the release here on Github. That's not a permanent solution tho, since I will not get any updates this way.
The proper solution for this is to reach out to the extension's maintainers and ask them to publish to Open VSX. See
I'd like to request to have vscode-pdfviewer published on OpenVSX. ❤️
