Work Flow:
According to documentation https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/kit/docs/kit-manual/latest/guide/extensions_basic.html, for creating a new extension, under extensions window it should show the “add” button with a +. I am using the kit sdk 107.3 and that button is missing in the extensions window
Main Issue:
Extensions windows does not show the add button “+”
Reproduction Steps:
Open extensions window. The “+” should be there left to the find box

Error Code: No error code

@dt_developer as another user, it looks like the documentation in the provided link is quite dated. i cannot recall what that + icon does since the button has been removed in UI updates few kit versions ago. are you looking to import or create an extension? if the former, you can find Import Extension option under the hamburger icon.

Yes correct @Simplychenable. Thank you !!

Hi @Simplychenable and @Richard3D, Thank for the response, I am looking for creating a new extension. I guess that import option does not offer this action, and I can´t find in the extensions window the option/menu for creating a new one. I am interested in creating an extension based on Python code

i wonder if the section on the repo will offer some insight on how to get started creating your own python extensions -

looks like those extension templates from repo has replaced the + icon in the GUI, which is a bit of a bummer.

on a side note, here is a quick video from the dev on how to start (barring the difference in kit version being used as Code is deprecated) using simply VSCode and a few tools you can find inside of 107.3.0:

To build a brand new extension you now use the Kit App Template command “repo.bat template new” and then pick to create an extension not an application. Then this will create the basic framework for your extension that you can import.

Thanks @Richard3D, I have created a new template with that method and I am developing it now.

Thanks both @Richard3D @Simplychenable

Great ! Glad to hear
