.safariextension is a Folder

[Caleb Grove]

Sijmen,

I'd love to use this extension, but when I download the zip (or clone in git, for that matter), the URL Rewrite.safariextension shows up as a folder instead of a package, and I can't find any way to convert it to a package. Could you upload the extension file to a place other than GitHub and link to it from the README file?

Cheers!

I was able to fix this by building the extension with Safari's Extension builder, which resulted in a .safariextz file that worked properly. For anyone else experiencing the same problem, you can download my built version here: http://cl.ly/Wvh1

First off, thanks for uploading that build, that’s very useful for people passing by.

I think using Extension Builder is the recommended workflow. My intention was to upload this extension to the Safari extension gallery, but IIRC that requires an icon and I don’t have one yet.

I’ve added a (programmer art) icon, submitted the extension to the Safari extension gallery, and added a download link to Readme.md.
