Bug: Weird characters for certain apps that prevents interaction (and telling what's what) about wingetui

[marticliment]

Well, that's weird.
Faast Questions:

• Does it happen with Winget packes, with scoop packages or with both?
• Does your user directory contain any special characters?

[RavenMacDaddy]

1. Only Scoop apps are affected.
2. Nope, just letters, and the dir for Scoop is F:\Backup\Scoop - custom dir.

[marticliment]

so what if you run in a cmd window scoop info caprine, does it show normal or does it fail?

[RavenMacDaddy]

Completely normal.

[marticliment]

Mhmm, it might be the green color. Have you changed any setting to get this greenish color?

[RavenMacDaddy]

Nono, this is the current default color that the Scoop app uses.

[marticliment]

huh, weird... Anyway, l'll try to fix it

[RavenMacDaddy]

And I appreciate your commitment and am very impressed.

[marticliment]

Hi, can you please try the latest head?

[RavenMacDaddy]

Oh Martí, I'd be glad to, however I've no programming knowledge so I dunno how to compile and test it.

[marticliment]

Oh, no worries :)

[marticliment]

Can you try this .exe?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--59dlIGpZoRyW3FXNeLOTFnZXaHtfso/view?usp=sharing

[marticliment]

It should have the character issues fixed

[RavenMacDaddy]

For some reason I can't even see any Scoop packages;

I tested this EXE both in my Scoop installation and completely separately.

Sidenote is that the buttons for the different sections at the top are even tighter.

[marticliment]

Can you try this .exe?

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1--59dlIGpZoRyW3FXNeLOTFnZXaHtfso/view?usp=sharing

Can you try this again please? (I hae updated the file.)

You will find a nwe tab called "Debugging log"

Please open it, click to see the log and send me all the text shown there.

I'm sorry i've been asleep, but i had to finish final exams :')

Hi, can you please run this command: scoop -v

Also, can you try running this: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted. Because it seems like PowerShell is blocking scoop

[RavenMacDaddy]

Setting Unrestricted for the current user didn't help, and also goes against Scoop's own homepage;

I ran the command for CU and then started WingetUI, viewed a Scoop app with the same characters coming up.

[marticliment]

And now that scoop apps are showing, can you please try thie file?

Actually it seems to be fixed in v1.1, great work.
