[FEATURE REQUEST] Support package manager System-Wide Install vs Per-User (Current Default)
Please confirm these before moving forward.
- [X] I have searched for my feature proposal and have not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved/discarded issue.
- [X] This proposal is a completely new feature. If you want to suggest an improvement or an enhancement, please use this template.
Describe the new feature
I've recently started using Windows 11 Dev Drives and I'm exploring relocating all my package manager caches to it. Based on what I've seen with the installer and settings, there exists no simple way outside of a symlink to do this.
I'd really appreciate the feature getting added and also the ability to support cache migration as well in the tool itself.
Describe how this new feature could help users
- Provide more control over placement of the cache folder.
- Introduce concept of system-wide vs per-user installation of packages depending on the user's needs.
I think what you want is this, right? https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/issues/1855
Sort of.
I'm asking for this feature for the UniGetUI installer and other applications installed via UniGetUI. It does appear that #1855 should do the trick for other applications, but not the UniGetUI application on installation or future updates. Unless UniGetUI can update itself and migrate itself to a new location?

You can install UniGetUI as a portable app
