Add 'Open install folder in Terminal' to installed apps - #27
Merged
Conversation
Right-clicking an app in the Apps pane now offers 'Open install folder in Terminal', which opens that package's install location in a terminal so users can inspect what's inside. TerminalLauncher (Core, testable) returns an ordered list of launch candidates: Windows Terminal (wt.exe -d), then PowerShell, then cmd.exe. The UI tries each until one starts, so machines without Windows Terminal still fall back to a shell that always ships with Windows. Launch uses ProcessStartInfo with UseShellExecute=true (allowed via runFullTrust). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
