[suggest] Add instructions to install Poedit with PkgMgrs on Windows. #786

Closed hwhsu1231 closed 1 year ago

Suggestion

Currently, we can use some package managers to install Poedit on Windows.

For example, we can use winget-cli to install Poedit with the following command:

C:\Users\hwhsu1231>winget search poedit
名稱   識別碼              版本  來源
----------------------------------------
Poedit VaclavSlavik.Poedit 3.1.1 winget

C:\Users\hwhsu1231>winget install VaclavSlavik.Poedit
找到 Poedit [VaclavSlavik.Poedit] 版本 3.1.1

Therefore, I suggest that it add instructions to install Poedit with PkgMgrs on Windows in README.md.

I suggest that you use the official installer and not rely on some apparently unmaintained 3rd party source that has very outdated versions.

@vslavik

WinGet is using the official installer provided by Poedit.

WinGet is kept maintaining by Microsoft. And if the current version of the package is out-of-date, then all we need to do is to post an update request in winget-pkgs. For example, the latest version of VaclavSlavik.Poedit in WinGet is currently 3.1.1, which is indeed out-of-date. Therefore, I posted the following two update requests in winget-pkgs just now:

I mean, self-evidently not. You contradict this claim in the very next sentence yourself:

all we need to do is to post

(i.e. some unspecified "we", not the supposedly maintaining Microsoft)

I am not going to link a non-official download source and would appreciate it if you stopped arguing about it.

I understand and I'll respect your decision. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. However, there is one more thing confusing me: What do you mean "non-official download source"?
