winget list fails to narrow down results by source

[kamenminkov]

Brief description of your issue

winget list --source winget doesn't narrow down by source.

Steps to reproduce

Issue the command winget list --source winget.

Expected behavior

I expect only packages installed by winget to be listed.

Actual behavior

All software installed on the system is listed - with only some of the rows saying winget in the Source column.

Sample output:

> winget list --source winget

--source means what source you want winget to match applications against, not where apps were installed from (that's where the ID comes from in the middle). winget doesn't actually know what apps it installed vs which were installed from another source (at least, not right now).

@kamenminkov,

The current behavior is by design. We have a feature coming up to improve the experience.
Several users have had the same expectation, so we're changing it.
