Ueli: Find installed apps through Windows store?

[TobiasDev]

I know that Wox (a now looking dead launcher like this), was somehow able to also find Windows Store apps in the searches. Would this also be possible to add here?

This is related to (#38).

Wox is mainly C# code and thereby has better integration with Windows.

Ueli utilizes node.js and to knowledge currently there is no way to get all UWP apps installed on a computer through node.js. If you know how to do it let me know ;)

I think here you can see how Wox gets all the UWP apps.

Closing all issues related to launching UWP apps on Windows for now because there is (to my knowledge) no way to get/launch UWP apps with node.js.

This article should help you.

Use the powershell command Get-AppxPackage to list the Installed Store Packages. Get only the desired columns with pipe ft ColumnName1, ColumnName2 -AutoSize.

i.e. : Get-AppxPackage | ft Name, PackageFullName -AutoSize

Then follow the article to find the command to start the app you found with the previous command.

Proper UWP support is now added in the latest release.
