Actually, the key.pem file is only required for people who want to import an extension they've already promoted. And in fact, key.pem files are ignored for updates anyway, so you don't need to worry about it. More info here<http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-extensions/browse_thread/thread/defbf282d11a8cc4> .
Just go to the edit page of your extension, upload a new file and publish. Your ratings and comments will be preserved. -Nick On Fri, Dec 11, 2009 at 10:25 AM, Marcos Aruj <marcos.a...@gmail.com> wrote: > For the gallery to know you are updating, I think you need to use the same > key you used when you originally uploaded.
