Share application detection code with Mission Center?

[qwertychouskie]

When Mission Center rewrote the application detection code a few months ago, it was factored into a standalone crate that can be used by any application: https://gitlab.com/mission-center-devs/app-detection

Using this code would mean that application detection would be consistent between both applications, and any improvements to the shared code would benefit both applications. It might also fix some open app detection issues such as #380 and #402 and perhaps #362. This image was also recently posted in the Mission Center discord server comparing the app detection of Mission Center and Resources:

FWIW there are likely also other situations where Resources does better than Mission Center currently does, but ultimately it would be nice if the two projects shared the detection code.

Just to chime in here, the crate is hosted in the mission-center-devs org, but I would be happy to move it to a neutral location, and change hosting providers if it makes things easier for both parties.

Hi,
that sounds like a neat idea, I didn't know that Mission Center made app detection a standalone crate. If it fixes Resources' current app detection woes, even better.
It'd probably be a rather big undertaking though, I'll look into it once I've got some other features done.

I don't mind that at all, no worries. :)
