Can't install Segment Editor Extra Effects (or its update?)

Operating system: Win 10
Slicer version: 5.6.2
Expected behavior: extension “Segment Editor Extra Effects” is available and works after installation from zip file
Actual behavior: the additional buttons do not even show up

Important: direct install of extension is blocked on my computer. I have been installing them from zip files. I used Segment Editor Extra Effects before (with 5.6.1)

Now I installed Slicer (current stable, 5.6.2) on a new computer.

I downloaded the zip file from @KitwareMedical/slicer-extensions-webapp

That page says Last update: Tue Oct 22 2024 (Revision: [7343241]) so I assumed it was current.

Downloaded file name: 33069-win-amd64-SegmentEditorExtraEffects-git7343241-2024-05-03.zip (note the different date)

I installed using Extension manager/Install from file…

Restarted Slicer.

The expected additional buttons in Segment Editor did not appear.

In Extension manager/Manage Extensions I see the extension listed with a comment:
An update is available. Installed NA. Available 73432421 (2024-06-20) which seems to be the same version number (if 73432421 is a version number) I had installed, but a different date.

Trying to update from within Manage Extensions page gives me an error, I presume because direct extensions are blocked here.

How do I download/install a version of this extension that works with my 5.6.2?

If you use the generic @KitwareMedical/slicer-extensions-webapp link then you see the extensions that are compatible with the latest Slicer Preview Release (currently revision 33069). You need a different URL to see extensions that are compatible with the latest Slicer Stable Release (currently revision 32448).

Please follow the instructions given in the documentation. Then the correct extensions catalog page will be opened in your web browser.
