How can I download an extension from the "Developer Dashboard"?

[Michael]

Hi,
First I apologize for my bad english.

I made an extension and uploaded it.
After some time, my hard drive broke.
And so, I've lost the whole source code.

Now i would like to download the source code...
But, the problem is that my account is not unlocked.

So...
is there a possibility,
to download the code again?

Hi Michael

 the problem is that my account is not unlocked

Do you mean you've lost your password? 

Do you still have the unpacked extension installed on a copy of Chrome you can access? 

If so, you can get: 

- the background page (e.g. background.html) from the link on chrome://extensions

- code for the popup (if you have one) by right-clicking on the extension icon and selecting Inspect popup

- content scripts by using the Chrome Dev Tools to inspect scripts on any page for which the extension is installed.

I still access my account.
I've uploaded the expansion there( chrome.google.com/webstore/
developer/dashboard?hl=en&gl=EN ).
But I do not know how I can download it again.

Hi Michael

You can't download your extension code from the dashboard -- did you try the other method I suggested?

Hi Sam

Unfortunately this is not possible, because it was only installed on
this device.

Click the more info button next to the item. Then download the main.crx file. Rename it to main.zip, and unzip it to view the contents.

What Ganesh said works, but you might need to use an unzip tool like 7-Zip. The crx file has additional information in it that makes things like the native windows compression tool fail, but a third party tool like 7-Zip works just fine. 

I did this exact thing today.
