[Suggestion] Winget setting for non-silent installation

[yesseruser]

Since some people might need to see the installation progress, I am suggesting an option to enable/disable the silent flag.

[marticliment]

Since using the silent flag could potentially break some packages' installation

Why do you say that? WinGet only silently installs packages that can be installed silently

You mean the 'install interactively'? - it's already there.

[yesseruser]

No, I meant the default mode when upgrading with the Winget command. It's non-interactive, but not silent. It's usually just a progress bar of the installation process.

[Lockszmith-GH]

I see, I was hoping winget has some default settings, but no.

I wonder if this can be a feature request for bundles. This way you can setup you own custom settings for your custom set of packages.

It would have been nice to have as default coming from someone who is transitioning to using WinGet via UniGetUI. I think that some of my apps that were previously installed via .msi setup files or just their default installers which were then instead updated/installed via WinGet were moved to a new location. Took me a while to realize this. For example, I had installed my StreamLink package originally via it's setup installer and installed it to a custom location on another drive. When updating it via UniGetUI I think it moved it to main OS drive instead of the prior installed location. I realized this some time after. Although, I will say that this behavior wasn't for every app. The only one that comes to mind is StreamLink's CLI app
