Describe the improvement
First of all, thank you for this amazing software! I use UniGetUI to maintain a personal/local offline software archive.
Currently, when I use the "Download selected installers" option for Winget packages, UniGetUI only extracts and downloads the raw installer executable (e.g., Devolutions.UniGetUI.win-x64.2026.1.10.0.exe). However, when I run winget download Devolutions.UniGetUI directly in the terminal, Winget downloads the installer file along with its companion Manifest (YAML) files and structures them properly.
It would be incredibly helpful to have a toggle or an option in UniGetUI's settings (e.g., "Download complete package manifests/metadata"). When enabled, UniGetUI should mirror the native winget download behavior, preserving the full package structure and manifest files instead of downloading just the isolated .exe/.msi file.
Describe how this improvement could help users
This feature would be highly beneficial for users who build offline installation repositories, as having the original manifest files is crucial for maintaining an organized and reproducible software archive.
