I might have made this overly complicated, it looks incredibly simple to do for what is essentially a portable
app by default.
New package: PikeNote.TaskbarGroups version 0.2.2.0 #123774
Provided all this works, going forward we have a couple of options for updating the manifest file.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on the manifest and this for now, everything so far is reversable should we want to change the name or anything else.
Description
I propose the creation of a winget package for
taskbar-groups
to facilitate a seamless installation experience. This will leverage thewinget
tool, enabling users to easily installtaskbar-groups
with a simple command, enhancing accessibility.Steps

.Additional Context
The essence of crafting a winget package for
taskbar-groups
pivots on providing a facile avenue for deploying the application across one or multiple machines using the command-line interface. Althoughtaskbar-groups
currently embodies a near-effortless, self-installing quasi-portable app—a mere double click and you're operational—the winget package aims to transcend this ease, enabling a streamlined, command-line-driven deployment, ideal for scripted installations or mass deployments. This venture, besides amplifying accessibility, sets the stage for fostering a broader user base and simplified management oftaskbar-groups
.I am willing to contribute to this endeavor and see how far I can take it. Any guidance or feedback would be invaluable in navigating the intricacies of winget packaging.
