[FEATURE REQUEST] Identify MSStore packages on the install section

[ppvnf]

I know Winget-CLI ability to identify source as MSStore is broken, however I believe there's a relatively simple way this can be achieved by WingetUI. This is because MSStore packages end with an underscore and exactly 13 characters after it. For example:

JAMSoftware.TreeSizeFreePrivate_37s2tpab2h9zg
8bitSolutionsLLC.bitwardendesktop_h4e712dmw3xyy

Oh, you mean like treating them as winget packages (showing info, etc.)?

That would be nice, but I was only thinking about them having a different icon from Local PC and regular Winget so I could easily differentiate the source

[ppvnf]

I think 2d61f53 made MSStore packages appear as Winget ones, but I don't think WingetUI is able to display any info about them (because it's not available through Winget). Then maybe it doesn't make sense to have show info for these packages

Icon suggestion to differentiate MSStore from Winget source:

I appreciate your attempt, but it's not working properly.

1. This package for some reason is misidentified as being from MSStore (it's from Winget actually). I believe the reason is the hyphen:
   

2. These ones are working fine:
   

3. Several packages that are actually from MSStore appear as Winget packages (I believe the reason is the ellipsis):

[marticliment]

Regarding the ellipsis, this is the same issue as always. Microsoft messing up, and much can't be done about it.

[ppvnf]

The problem isn't the ellipsis itself, but because of it 16 out of 19 MSStore packages are wrongly identified as Winget pkgs. Only 3 are correctly identified as being from MSStore. Is there a way to ignore the ellipsis only during the source check?

[marticliment]

I mean, i could omit it, but the 13-character id wouldn't be 13 characters long.

[marticliment]

However, i could actually fix that

[ppvnf]

Thanks for fixing Micrisoft's problems ahead of time! I don't know if you have a better idea, but I've noticed that packages with _ that have ... are from MSStore. The only exceptions are packages that have { (but they aren't detected as Winget, so it's probably not a problem)

[marticliment]

It should be now working

[ppvnf]

Thanks!
