Hi guys,
Having to prepare app packages using the Content Prep tool is less than ideal. Are there any plans to allow uploading of files/folders directly to Intune for Win32 apps? Or to use the native ZIP format?
While using the intunewin format is tolerable when building a new app, it's also challenging for existing apps when we may want to change only a single file within the payload. With the current situation we have to re-wrap the entire contents and upload the entire updated file. For some apps, all we need to update is the license file or configuration files and not the entire "bundle". Combining this with my first request to remove the dependency on the intunewin format - it'd be awesome if there was some kind of "package explorer" in the UX where we could see the files/folders in use for this package and edit/remove/update them one at a time.
And while I'm at it! :) For files that are text-based files (bat, ps1, lic, txt, csv, etc) it'd be SO great if those files could be edited in-place using a lightweight text-editor of some sort. (Same for Intune Remediations & Scripts)
Thank you!!

egoodman ,
I agree. It'll take some time to explore how we can make Win32 apps more cloud friendly and streamlined, but it is something we are looking at how to we can improve. Thank you for your feedback!
