exec details in context menu #67

Closed jimlynnjulian closed 3 months ago

Thye tray exec has all the usual details when a context menu is brought up. The primary exec, however, has none. The primary exec needs to have the version number so the installation status can be determined. If an installation already exists, a new effort will 'update' only. Allowing a new install to 'overwrite' a previous install, or remove a previous install, but keep the data, would be a good addition.

For the first part, are you saying that the "details" tab in Windows' file properties does not list the version number?

Could you clarify what you mean for the installation part?

First part: (compare the two panels for product version and data in general) tray jfin

Second part: When I install jellyfin and an installation already exists, the app will offer to 'update' or 'cancel.' A useful change would be to allow the existing install to be removed/uninstalled by the app. Not really a needed change but possibly useful.

For the application properties, thanks for the heads up. I'm not sure why that's not being populated, so I can dig in to .NET apps and verify.

For the install part, there is an uninstaller - this is what gets called if you go to the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs section, or the Settings > Apps section, and choose "Uninstall". It gives you the option to uninstall and keep your user data, or to uninstall and remove user data. Is that what you're looking for?
