Feature request: Installation monitoring

[Kratos-Mundus]

Hi can you add a feature for Monitoring new Installations?

[Klocman]

For now I don't plan on adding this feature. BCU is usually used some time after an application was installed, or as a portable app. It's also a bit heavy to have it constantly run in background, so a separate monitoring module would be needed.

Instead I prefer to improve "post-mortem" detection of junk because it will benefit the portable version as well as the installed version. Coding the monitor would require a fairly sizeable amount of time, so for now it's a low priority item.

I'll close the issue for now, since no work will be done on this in the foreseeable future. If anyone wants to give implementing this a go then the issue can be reopened.

Neither OP nor anybody said "constantly", it was about monitoring installation, means the monitoring is to be enabled only before & during installation of a new program + a first single run of the new program, then monitoring is saved and closed and will be reused during uninstallation of the program in the future, after orginal deinstallator finishes, to make sure the original deinstallator didn't leave any leftovers.

"post-modern" detection of junk in BCU doesn't detect huge ammount of junks in AppData and ProgramData folders, see my reply in another duplicated thread: #260 (comment).
