Description

What type of update are you requesting?

A new locale, architecture, or installer type of an existing version

Current Package Identifier

ahrm.sioyek

Package Version

2.0.0

Please describe the changes you would like to see

Current manifest https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/master/manifests/a/ahrm/sioyek/2.0.0/ahrm.sioyek.installer.yaml only installs a portable version, which blocks the common way of installing to Program Files and changes config location.
While portability is nice, ideally there should be 2 versions of the app: regular installable and portable, not just one

Research direction

Start with manifests/a/ahrm/sioyek/2.0.0/ahrm.sioyek.installer.yaml and inspect how the current portable installer is defined. Verify the available Sioyek installer details and manifest conventions; done means the package offers both the existing portable version and a regular installable version that supports installation to Program Files and the corresponding configuration behavior.
