Hi JP, I think I need here your auth to not disable the extension? And is this the correct way you expect?

1. Please add GitHub or GitLab url to the `metadata.json`: [EGO Review Guidelines: url](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#metadata-json-must-be-well-formed 2. Move line 11 to enable and disconnect object on disable.

But it will not work if I do so, isn't it? Ok for github.

Your extension should clean up properly on disable. Currently works because you are not cleaning up and extension leaves its code after disable. On lock, extensions get disabled if they don't have the unlock session permission. Even those with permission may get disabled and re-enabled since that's how re-basing works. So, if your extension only needs to work on lock screen, add this to the `metadata.json`: ```json "session-modes": ["unlock-dialog"] ``` You can read about the [session modes in the docs](https://gjs.guide/extensions/topics/session-modes.html). Also read the [review guidelines for session modes](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#session-modes).
