Description of the new feature / enhancement

It is hoped that in the future, the tools required by users will be installed as plugins or optional packages
希望未来能以以插件或可选包的方式安装用户所需要的工具。

Powertoys already contains a lot of gadgets, but these tools are not available to every user, and all of them take up a lot of disk space on the user's computer (especially those self-contained Windows App SDK gadgets). It is hoped that in the future, the installation interface of optional functions will be provided during the installation process, just like the optional functions in Windows settings, allowing users to choose the gadgets they need.
目前Powertoys已经包含了很多的小工具,但是这些工具并不是每一个用户都能用得到的,而且所有的工具占用了用户电脑大量的磁盘空间(尤其是那些自包含的Windows 应用SDK小工具)。希望未来在安装的过程中能提供可选功能的安装界面,就像Windows设置中的可选功能一样,让用户自己选择所需要的小工具。

This not only saves the disk space of the user's computer, but also ensures the user's required functional requirements.
这样既节省了用户电脑的磁盘空间,也保证了用户的所需功能需求。
