If something goes wrong
"Manifest file is missing or unreadable"
You selected the zip or the folder above it. Open the reshapex folder and select that folder itself, the one that contains manifest.json.
ReshapeX disappeared after I moved the folder
Chrome reads the extension from the folder where you loaded it. Put the reshapex folder back in its place, then press the reload button on the extensions page.
The popup only shows the activation screen
That is correct until you activate. Paste the key from your purchase email. Keys look like RSX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX, and spaces and capitals do not matter.
Chrome says the extension is not from the store
The warning appears for extensions loaded from a folder. The file came from reshapex.xyz. The warning goes away once ReshapeX is on the Chrome Web Store.
