Organize some menus like Octopi.

For example: - File - Refresh cache (Ctrl+R) - (separator) - Install package from manifest... - (separator) - Exit - Tools - Sources editor... - (separator) - Options... Most of...

Save selections when marking packages to install so that refreshing the cache doesn't remove the user's selections.

This could be stored in a yaml file. Something like this maybe: ``` -Package - PkgId: (id) - Version: (marked version) - Action: (selected action) ``` If the user chooses...

Have an option to display winget output in CMD window like Octopi in case user input is required.

Ideally this would also work with a dialog box for input (or better yet, something in the configuration window, or a dialog box with a checkbox to set an input...

Make sure we get the full path when extracting, for safety reasons.

Didn't notice this before, but MSDN has it in their example code here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/how-to-compress-and-extract-files#example-2-extract-specific-file-extensions

Wait a minute, what if I didn't extract manifests and instead just directly read them from the zip file like FenPhoenix does with AngelLoader?

That should help with performance and save disk writes. Hopefully it's not too difficult to grab specific files from the zip file like it is with another format I think...

I need to add UI stuff to use `winget configure` and `winget download`.

For `winget download`, I can have an option that specifies where the installer goes if that's an available command line, along with a button to open the folder. It could...

enhancement

Add an option to automatically save the list of packages to install/upgrade/uninstall in case there's a guinget upgrade in the list and figure out a way to have the installer restart guinget then open the Apply Changes window again and apply the rest of the changes.

I should probably have guinget do its stuff first then restart and only then do stuff for other apps to make things simpler. This is kinda like what the Windows...

I think there are some variables that are created inside loops, and apparently that's bad for performance with the Garbage Collector or something so I need to minimize that where possible and instead only assign them inside the loops.

Some may be unavoidable, but I feel like that would be a consequence of bad code design rather than something that's actually impossible.

Try using a different thread to go through the list of packages to add packages to the DataGridView so we don't have to lock up the UI, and use events from that thread to update the progress bar.

May help a little, at least. Maybe we can also use separate threads to help with getting package descriptions into the main DataTable.

winget now has the ability to pin package versions, so I should add menu items to pin, unpin, and list pinned packages.

This'll probably be designed like Synaptic, much like most of the rest of the UI. Pinning packages will be done separately from marking packages for install/uninstall/etc.
