Would be a possible temporary fix for #1036 |
I'm not sure if this is quite doable, since not all packages do offer this ability, but I am going to give it a go |
@marticliment thanks for the quick answer! I just realized that "Go to Source" is a bit misleading. More like a "Go to Install Location". |
For Winget there is an open issue about this microsoft/winget-cli#2298 |
Its actually quite important, since not all Apps are shown in the Start menu or windows search after the installation. |
Please confirm these before moving forward
Describe the improvement
Add a single menu item to the right click menu of installed software, that lets me go to the respective directory the software is isntalled in.
If this is not possible, alternatively it would be helpful to document the installation path in the FAQ for various sources.
Describe how this improvement could help users.
Right now it is very troublesome to find the location, where stuff is installed. For example installing maven via chocolatey results in the path
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\WingetUI\choco-cli\lib
. But this path is already different when installing stuff via winget.Adding the menu item improves fluidity and streamlines workflow.
