Detection for global and local Scoop apps

[sitiom]

WingetUI does not differentiate between global and local Scoop apps, see this example:

Right now, I can't update global Scoop apps, as this error appears:

The ability to install and uninstall Scoop apps globally is also essential. When installing, uninstalling, or updating an application globally, "run as admin" needs to be checked.

I see

will there be support for installing, updating and removing packages as admin+global?

WingetUI cannot detect the difference between global and local apps in both Scoop and Winget. This is the biggest problem for me from using this GUI. I have a bunch of global and local apps, and WingetUI cannot manage them properly.

Yes, this is a pending thing.

Hi @sitiom,

could you please test the latest head? Because this issue should be fixed by now.

• Only update works
• I don't see an option to install an app globally
• I cannot uninstall a global app:
• I cannot differentiate between a local and global app: It would be great if the global app had something like (Global) suffixed or similar to an info column in Scoop:

I believe this is related to #474 Edit: doesn t seem to be the case

I cannot cleanup a global app:

@candrapersada, could you please open a new issue?

Thanks!

I think this issue and https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI/issues/732 were partially fixed by https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI/commit/6ed9bab5fe515547e758308dc658fa7c31f952f3

[marticliment]

Yes, it is only missing the part of detection

Added a checklist to complete on the first comment: https://github.com/marticliment/WingetUI/issues/81#issue-1305463914

[ppvnf]
