Description
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Hi,
I don't think this feature is in there but let me make a proposal or an idea.
(Or at least the way I want).
Lets say there is an standard way developers my expose there settings so that
not only what things are installed but settings.
Example: I install Visual Studio.
On my machine. Now not only are there lots of different workloads but all those
options as well.
Here my be the flow.
- Install Visual Studio as I like to with options.
- I use Winget to then do an export with the apps settings as well.
- Export to package list.
- Do an export of the settings as well.
Then come machine rebuild time - import package and settings.
I just great to add this to take to the next level - save time building and tuning
settings when we load our machines.
Feedback improvements welcome.
Thanks,
Ward.

Research direction
The issue concerns winget package import/export and Visual Studio settings, but names no files or tests. Start by reading the existing import and export CLI entry points and package-list format; done would require an agreed standard for capturing and restoring settings, with coverage for both export and import.
