The first beta version of UniGetUI 3.1.7 has been released and incorporates experimental changes, featuring a new "Manual Scan" button that allows users to manually add additional desktop shortcuts. Enhancements have been implemented across several packages, including Chocolatey, Pip, Vckpg, .NET Tool, Scoop, and Cargo. The title bar now features a subtitle, and a critical crash has been resolved that occurred when UniGetUI was unable to write to the executable location in portable mode. The UI layout has been revised, and AppSdk has been upgraded to version 1.6.5.

UniGetUI 3.1.7 beta 1

Caution
PreRelease builds may be unstable and should not be used on a production environment

General changes

• A new experimental change has been introduced, which makes UniGetUI consume near to 0% CPU when on background. This setting can be disabled from the settings, under experimental features.
• A new "Manual Scan" button has been added, so users can manually add more desktop shortcuts to automatically remove. (thanks  @mrixner)
• After some analysis from the telemetry data, I was able to identify and fix some issues causing package operations to fail. The improvements apply to:
  • Chocolatey (fixed some hangs and improved operation output parsing)
  • Pip (removed deprecated flag and improved operation output parsing)
  • Vckpg (better vcpkg update and bootstrapping, significantly improving success rate)
  • .NET Tool (better global tool handling, mostly affecting new installs)
  • Scoop (better error detection and operation output parsing)
  • Cargo (usage of cargo-binstall for faster and more reliable install and update operations)
• Added a subtitle to the titlebar, what will inform the user when UniGetUI runs under special conditions (administrator, portable, etc.)
• Fixed a hard crash when UniGetUI can't write to the exe location in portable mode.
• Improvements to the UI Layout. Hidden pages will be detached from the root, instead of being hidden.
• Improvements to executable detection (for executables added to PATH)
• AppSdk was updated to 1.6.5
