Convert all strings to RESX to enable localization.

So the app can write its own YAML file.

Hi, if you have a plan to generate hash for url, I can submit a PR. I have already done this for my own HandyWinget-Gui

I'm getting 0x8024001D error while trying to install the app from MS Store. I've left the same problem in a review too. I tried resetting MS Store and that didn't fix it either. I can install all other apps normally. The only time I faced this issue before was when I tried to install Xbox Console Companion after removing it, for which the solution was to manually remove leftover directories from the old installation.

Add support for switches. For example an EXE that requires the /S silent argument switch cannot be used. As far as I am aware?

It would be extremely useful if one were able to import existing yaml manifests to edit them.

For example, when using WinGetCreate , it spits out a working but very basic yaml file. But we could use this app to add more specific info and fields to it.

Looks like the creator hasn't had a chance to work on it in a while, but would be cool if this was in the next version.

Rather than hand-write the UI and change it for every new field, the UI should be generated at runtime from metadata (field name, type, optionality, validity callback, etc.)

Request from legal to not start the app name with a Microsoft trademark.

An error is shown when attempting to enter a HTTP installer URL:

winget does not actually have this limitation, however.

There are apps published on HTTP-only websites (why? don't ask me), and since the installer authenticity is verified by embedded hash anyway, it is not necessary to check this.

MSIX is declarative and it is simple to extract the information from the package.

Includes: msix, msixbundle, appx, appxbundle

So that we can install this app with winget.

Currently it can be built, but packaging fails.

It would be nice to have the Publisher field show existing publishers from the WinGet feed so users don't create duplicates.

The problem with this is that it will require network access, which the app currently doesn't require (and I like the fact it has no capabilities / no privacy concerns). Network access could be added to the app (and the privacy policy updated accordingly), or perhaps there could be a way to get the publisher info offline (eg, have user copy-paste something).

Per https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/blob/master/doc/ManifestSpecv0.1.md

When i generate a YAML file the syntax of the file is incorrect.

Switches have to be following syntax

Switches:
  Silent: /s
  SilentWithProgress: /

To get no warning like:

Manifest validation succeeded with warnings.
Manifest Warning: Silent and SilentWithProgress switches are not specified for InstallerType exe. Please make sure the installer can run unattended.

MSI can easily import the information to populate a good amount of the fields.
