Some way to make UniGetUI check for updates on none installed software #4679

Unanswered
Thomas (tps800) asked this question in Q&A

In some cases software is not installed via package managers like:

  • was compiled from sources
  • unzipped to a directory
  • copied from elsewhere

is it possible to have UniGetUI watch for updates in such cases too? By checking some file with version information for such software, and warning if there are newer versions available?
Something like a directory of files all holding one line of version information, named after what is expected to be watched. Like:

  • File named "Mozilla Firefox", with "150.0" as only text inside. So UniGetUI would warn if there is a newer Version of "Mozilla Firefox" then "150.0" available.

I always choose "portable" software versions when they're available. Having a means to easily keep those updated would be quite useful. That said, UniGetUI somehow detected and updated a couple such portable apps last night, including Localsend. I've taken no deliberate steps to make that possible, so I don't know how they were detected.
