Not even running WingetUI as admin and then running Upgrade all packages works - or there's been a misunderstanding about the feature.

Regarding update all, I saw it as fetching the latest data - and updating all the apps after that, kinda like scoop update * (when enough time has passed by obviously).

EDIT: More specifically, the app Icaros, which requires admin, being a non-portable app on Scoop, was in the list, but no matter if I ran WingetUI with admin or not and picked Upgrade all packages, it was always left untouched.

EDIT2: I also noticed it's missing auto-refresh upon updating the packages - after manually refreshing the corresponding apps show up.

Maybe it should simply be a separate button called "Upgrade all packages and install updates".

Looks promising and better than all GUIs I have seen for WinGet so far. Is this still being worked on?

I would love to see another tab to update your installed apps in the future or that the discover tab shows which software is installed already and if it needs updates. Design-wise, I would prefer another tab though. :)

Indeed, scoop is not working on compiled binaries placed on non-ascii path

I get a message and notification saying it was installed correctly but nothing actually installed
it installs on regular winget cli

Can a successful app update result in the corresponding entry in the Software update-list disappearing automatically?

For example, Google Chrome has an update so I double-click it to attempt it.

The update is successful and therefore the entry for Google Chrome disappears from the list.

So, there are multiple things going through my mind...

1. It's unclear that something needs admin, I just get an error code and after browsing the web for 5 minutes I come to the conclusion that needed elevated privilege was the issue.

Is there any way to detect this and communicate it to the user - or even better, detect that it's needed and ask the user to elevate the privilege?

2. Since it's not recommended to run WingetUI as admin, is there any way to manually elevate an installer, for example through a context menu item?

In the example given, the appropriate manifest would probably be: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifests/u/Unchecky/Unchecky/1.2/Unchecky.Unchecky.yaml

Like updates, it would be great if you could double-click in the install view - maybe through a toggle at the top to give users the choice. ("Quick install with double-click" or something.)

This could be complemented with a right-click menu to show details for the app like the current behavior shows the user.

Notice how the accent color spills over in the top left corner - and the icon itself is cut off at the bottom.

This is on a 1440p monitor and Windows 11.

• Color over-extending
• Checkbox clipping

How about pressing either F5 or CTRL+R to refresh the active section, e.g. App updates?

It seems like you already have a tray icon, albeit non-functioning. It would be good to make use of it. Additionally, having WingetUI run in the background and automatically notify and install updates unattended is something I think is essential to most package manager UIs.

See microsoft/winget-cli#212 (comment)

Here are some references:

zkokaja/Brewlet

For example, you need to manually check if some of your packages can be updated. With Brewlet it's easy: if everything is working swimmingly, then you'll see the normal shadow icon. If updates are available to be installed, the icon will become colored, , to get your attention – along with a notification if you wish. Once clicked, you'll be able to upgrade your packages, among other options. In addition, Brewlet will periodically check the status of packages in the background, so you don't have to.

Something related to the Python DLL crashing.

I'm not noticing it, even if the application performance will surely get improved with time - but there's no visible crashing with the app.

Running under Windows 11 with admin rights, installed via this scoop bucket https://github.com/hoilc/scoop-lemon/blob/master/bucket/wingetui.json

The app opens with traditional UI windows styling, After closing the warning popup, the Mica styled UI loads on top of this

Please add more columns and make them toggable like description, homepage link, GitHub, etc

Thanks

1. At the moment it's very small which makes everything hard to view and read through.

Both a larger window by default and one that can be resized would greatly improve the experience.

2. About viewing it again... one way to do it is, instead of having the resulting button down to the right read 'OK', it could say "Show options", where clicking it brings up a menu where one option is "Close" and the other is "View details".

3. Just noticed that the OK and Details buttons look very different from each other, so that's something.

I guess the buttons themselves in terms of alignment could with either being in the middle, somewhat on opposite ends horizontally, or something like that.

Essential changes made in the screenshot:

• Increases the space between the top section and the content below, as well as moving the top buttons further down
• The About section specifically seems to look better adjusted to the left, hence the choice
• Adjusts the button sizes depending on the amount of text, as well as the height of the buttons and text
• Reduces the space between titles and sub headers and the normal text while increasing the spacing between the sections
• Slightly adjusts the licensing text to the right to make them all align vertically
• Increases the spacing between the buttons at the top, makes things easier to distinguish and read
• Improve tab select widget

More or less all the different elements have been adjusted with the goal of more symmetry and being more aesthetic to look at - as well as easier to view and read.

I think the buttons and text for the sections at the top could do with being enlarged as well.

This is meant as ideas and inspiration for improving the project.

In other words, it shows all the apps instead of the results.

Here's the flow:

1. Start WingetUI
2. Immediately search for something, in my case "steam"
3. The list gets done populating, and replaces my results with the list of all apps instead

after running scoop bucket add extras, whenever wingetUI store is open it remains in a semi-frozen state, like so:

I can see apps that only exist in the extras bucket (for example lightcord) and even click into for package details, however the main app itself never finishes loading or display the correct total item count.

Dunno if the app should actually have a dedicated settings menu (with categories/sections for a good UX), but anyways - starting to use virtual desktops and always prioritizing performance, having the option to only keep one instance running of the app would be a great addition.

In my example, it would switch to the desktop for app management as I click WingetUI in the Taskbar.

Add an UI to manage scoop buckets

-i, --interactive or -l, --location so we can change the installation location and custom settings?

Add the ability to hide "Unknown" apps on the updater #35

This could be done in different ways.

One way is to keep it as is and just fade away completed installs after a few seconds; unsuccessful installs are interesting, successful aren't as much.

Another way is to have a sidebar or equivalent where all install progress is kept to keep it away from the main view.

1. Have a way to hide/show the installs list
2. Auto hide the correct ones
3. Leave the failed ones
4. Add a scrollbar for when the installations pass x amount to don't overload the main window

[32;1mname or something, unknown app in the Installed list, as well as links and everything else in the first screenshot.

Is it possible to add the columns Install date and Size to the Installed applications section?

At the moment it says "WingetUI was successfully installed".

Can it say "Winget apps updated" and "Scoop apps updated" respectively? Obviously the same for managers added in the future.

Whether it be smaller or larger, it would benefit the app to have some sort of responsive design to adjust itself depending on the window size.

As per the screenshot above, having the columns get wider would give them more room (e.g. for longer texts) as well as filling up the void that gets left in the window once maximized.

In the reverse scenario, content like columns or text gets cut off/lost completely, although one solution to this is to have a limit for how small the app window can be.

The app clearly knows where I was before I searched for something, and it does already persist my position if I switch sections in the app.

Is it possible to persist the position after a search to avoid the need to scroll all the way down again?

Basically pressing Tab to switch to the next section to the right and Shift-Tab to go left; vice versa.

Either that or involving CTRL similar to web browsers.

Hopefully wrap-around doesn't present any issues.

Instinctively I press ESC to clear the search field to search for something else, or to close additional windows, e.g. app details - is this possible to implement?

Notice how there's a black text background present, while the actual window is dark grey.

This is on Windows 11.

For example in the bottom center.

For compatibility with package managers like Scoop that handle app updates on their own.

This is on a 4K OLED screen on a 15.6 inch laptop. Reducing the resolution to Full HD didn't help.
This is on Windows 11, that is up-to-date.
Please let me know if any more information is needed.

You seem to have put elevenclock links to wingetui.

Let's say I want to position my mouse to either side of the list to not block the content that I want to scroll.

Currently this has no reaction to input - only when the mouse hovers over the list it works.

• Get the QLineEdits to have grey fg colors when no text is in it and the hint is shown

eg I run WingetUI 1.0 on scoop it automatically installs to WingetUI 1.1 on
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\WingetUI\WingetUI.exe in Windows 10

Every time I open the app it's always in the middle of the desktop - which is nice - but I always move it to the right side of the desktop since I always have some video playing on the left side.

Instinctively I pressed CTRL-F after starting the app to start searching - is this something that can be implemented?

When trying to choose version of any app - it shown with black background.

I get error message that api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing.

I am still using Scoop in Win7.
Grateful for any assistance, I would love to upgrade and have the latest bug fixes

In my case Kaspersky.

Is it possible to implement a save function to bulk install all desired apps with a few clicks?

minimum screen size is larger than monitor, cuts off text everywhere and UI elements when attempting upgrade/reinstall
