I don't want to be a downer.... but I think the current download method is fine. I'd rather see Jonathon direct his effort to new or improved algorithms.
Just my $0.02

I support John P.
Jonathan could use those tools, that support his workflow best.
I don't care whatever microsoft thinks what is the best workflow for me.
I like the "manual download flow" because I download each file to my own NAS-Server.
So I have my own Backup-Archiv back to 2004.

Keeping apps up to date without using winget is a recurring chore. If PWP were easily published to the Microsoft repository, it would be appreciated.
By the way, many graphics, photo apps are upgradable via winget, among which : GIMP, IrfanView, XnView, RawTherapee, darktable
Searching for the tag "photo", the following applications are listed as upgradable via winget :
Code: Select all
PS C:\Users\pierr> winget search photo --source winget

Agree to both. Suggestion is to add a new upgrade method, keeping the current download method unchanged.
Only if the effort is reasonably small.

I took a quick look at this and tried to add an entry for PWP8 (as Digital_Light_and_Color.Picture_Window_Pro_8) but got a cryptic error message at the end of the process so I don't know if it succeeded or not. When I try to use winget to install PWP, it cannot find the installer.

There is no entry for Digital_Light_and_Color
Code: Select all
PS C:\Users\pierr> winget search Digital_Light_and_Color
Aucun package ne correspond aux critères sélectionnés.
