Feature request: Start windows app via start Menu

[IvoA1975]

To add a Windows app to the Total Commander menu is a hassle, see the procedure I made below thanks to the help of Dalai. Is it possible this proces can get some automated support in a new release? For example, a menu option to scan for the Windows Apps (see below, if this can be done manual, this must be possible to automate) and add the app to the menu? Or if that is too difficult, an option to scan for the Windows Apps and be able to copy-paste the start command of each App?

So for myself I made the following procedure on how to add an App to the Total Commander menu, I will share it here below:
(I tested this procedure with a couple of Apps and they all worked)


First find the [PackageFamilyName] by:
* starting Windows Powershell
* Type command: Get-AppxPackage

Search in the output for the App and note PackageFamilyName
* Example for Typesy: eReflectPtyLtd.Typesy_3v9eb52zjj184

Next, find the app location and go into the AppxManifest.xml
* via shell:appsFolder
* or via C:\Program Files\WindowsApps (hidden system directory)
* Get the [AppID] by searching in de AppxManifest.xml XML file for the tag <Application Id=...>

Then start the App with the following command:
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" shell:appsFolder\[PackageFamilyName]![AppID]

Example for Typesy: "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" shell:appsFolder\eReflectPtyLtd.Typesy_3v9eb52zjj184!Typesy

The ICON file if the exe file in the App folder
* Example for Typesy: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\eReflectPtyLtd.Typesy_1.0.0.0_x64__3v9eb52zjj184\app\Typesy.exe"
* But it's easier to just make a Snagit of an image search and save it as ICO file

Thats to complicated and much easier using the Powershell script from
