[PowerGadgets Tab completion - PSConfiguration folder where are you?]

Yes I did.

[PowerGadgets Tab completion - PSConfiguration folder where are you?]

Thanks,  ...strange, I just downloaded it yesterday - maybe the doco is out of date?

[Idea for a new Gadget -> out-workflow]

I often find myself writing applications that use some sort of work flow (eg State Machine Work flow).

A handy Gadget I could use in these sceanrios would display various "States" and the count of item existing in that state.  The gadget might allow the configuration for defining the states. I'd imagine it would be piped from 'invoke-sql' .

In essence it is very similar to a bar graph except the eye-candy and layout would look more similar to a work flow chart.

I can even see the arrow movements being configurable and being pulsed in line with -refresh...[] 

 Just an idea...

Cheers, John

 

[PowerGadgets Tab completion - PSConfiguration folder where are you?]

Page 39 of the QuickStartGuide states: 

PowerGadgets Tab completion

"To enable command completion for Powergadgets, simply copy the PSConfiguration folder containing the profile.ps1 file into the Windows PowerShell installation folder."

 

Question: where is the "PSConfiguration" folder? I don't see it.  Looked under the installation folder for PowerGadgets, AppData, etc...

[Security of Connection strings]

Hi,

 I can see myself recommending this to my customers esp. the cool real time monitoring type gadgets.

The only concern I have is that the ps1 scripts the users run have exposed the database connection strings.

Has anyone architected a way round this? eg encryption or something?

 Cheers,

John
