Sadly Microsoft kills every good little projets... But this means also less constraints maintaning that Store version. I always prefer installs from GitHub repos to ensure the software will work as intended. I'm not sure about it but it does support winget right? If so that's enough in my opinion |

At least I did not add it to the winget community repo, not sure if someone else did. MS Store was mainly about discoverability, I don't think the same applies to winget. |

I understand that it was great for discoverability, Winget does not have such thing but it helps the app to be kept updated. Would be nice to add it there! |

Sure, please go ahead, create a manifest and open a PR to the winget community repo. |

Will do when I have some time, but it is really a manual action for every new version? That seems an awful way to keep things up to date |

In 2022, Microsoft updated their policies for Microsoft Store. Since then, new apps and updates to existing apps require signed binaries.
Such code signing certificates cost several hundreds of euros each year. Paste Into File is FOSS and has zero earnings, therefore it cannot afford a code signing certificate. Unfortunately, this means, that I can no longer push updates to the Microsoft Store.
Users are asked to download and install Paste Into File from the GitHub Release page instead.
Since version 5, Paste Into File can check for updates and notify on new releases (update checks can be disabled from the settings menu).
