Not reporting current versions of software

[tardis4500]

When I run a command line "winget search pgadmin4" it shows the latest version as 5.2 but HandyWinGet show the latest as 5.1 and doesn't show 5.2 at all in the drop-down.

I asked the same thing - it is based upon the manifests that Microsoft makes available to the winget CLI utility, and so the winget only has access to the latest software as Microsoft makes them available.

But in this case the winget CLI shows a newer version than this GUI.

Then use the Refresh Packages button near the bottom right. I just tried it, it does show 5.1 initially, but after refresh it shows 5.2

I see. It's somewhat counter-intuitive that it doesn't refresh automatically at startup. There should probably be an option for that.

I can get on board with that. I suspect that it might be a case of not spamming the servers from people (like me) who tend to start and stop the app more than once a day though ;P

At any rate, @ghost1372 is really good at both responding as well as continuing development on this app, so maybe it might could be added as an option (a user-configurable option would be best, so those of us who want it can have it and those who don't can leave it off).

See the previous issue I started to see just how far down the rabbit hole we went lol...

The CLI doesn't require an update option so restarting the app would be no different than running winget multiple times a day. This would also be the same as Chocolatey which auto-refreshes at startup.

@tardis4500 @JohnLGalt
I added an option to control this situation 😁
also 2 other options were also added
I have to mention that the pages are not cached at the moment and after navigating the page, all the pages are re-created
I'm working on this
