Here are some missing features that would really make PowerCommands shine:

1. Sync (track) current document with Solution Explorer. I have document tracking turned off, so let me right click on my current document and display it, highlighted in Solution Explorer.

2. Web projects: Support "Open Containing Folder" and "Open Folder in Windows Explorer" and other relevant commands

3. Database projects: Support "Open Containing Folder" and "Open Folder in Windows Explorer" and other relevant commands

I 2nd the motion for being able to use the PowerCommands available in Database projects. I have 100's of stored procedures that I manage in VS2008 and TFS. Would LOVE to have the "SHOW ALL FILES" option.

NEW POST: How I can assign shortcut to Collapse Projects command?

jbramwell — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 19:03:47 GMT

Although it's been some time since this question was asked, I thought I'd go ahead and reply. To setup a shortcut:

Select Tools-->Options
Select the Keyboard node
Enter "project.collapse" (minus quotes) in the filter text box. You should see "ProjectandSolutionContextMenus.Project.CollapseProjects"
In the "Press shortcut keys" text box, enter a shortcut (e.g. CtrlShiftQ) and click Assign

From there on out, you can press your shortcut to collapse the various projects.

Hope this helps.

NEW POST: PowerCommands crashing VS2008 SP1

ScottCher — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 17:59:09 GMT

I'm receiving the same crash when trying to edit xaml pages. I've tried the config change but that didn't work. Anyone else not had that solve the problem?

EDIT -- Figured it out - should have checked where my PowerCommands were installed to, not "Program Files (x86)" but under "Program Files".

Now you should be able to run PowerCommands with VS 2008 SP1 and XAML with no crashes. I guess there will be a fix when the next PowerCommands version comes out or on .net 4.0 .

Thanks MSFT!

This helped me on Vista 32 too :) ( I've installed PowerCommands into non-default directory)

NEW POST: Edit solution file

I suggest to add for the next version "Edit solution file".
Does the product support? Is anybody there?

NEW POST: Collapse all

good_alias — Thu, 14 May 2009 08:57:50 GMT

I agree, I would be very nice if this feature was improved a little bit. I'm stuck with a solution with 169 projects and those are grouped
in a lot of solution folders.
I used to have a macro for VS2005 that solved it, but it didn't work for 2008...

NEW POST: Wrong version info in About box

azurepalm — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:50:54 GMT

When I do Help >> About, then scroll down the list of "Installed products", I see PowerCommands listed as version 1.0 despite having installed the latest (version 1.1) of the tool. Thx.

Can you implement the "Sort and Remove Usings on save" option to not run when you are building a solution? When the build happens, VS tries to save the files you modified, but you get a nasty cannot remove and sort on build error message each time you modify a file and try to do a build.

I understand that the build must not be broken in order to sort and remove using statements, but perhaps there is a way to intelligently implement a sort and remove pre or post build?

VS 2008 SP1 crashes when I try to Clean or Build an Outlook add-in project. I don't really know waht is the cause, but when I start VS2008 with the /safemode option everything works fine. I think It's due to the PowerCommands tool...
Do you habe any idea !?

Thanks.

Can you remove the redundant separators in the menu? The right click menu on a project shows this:
Build
Rebuild
Clean
---
Open Command Prompt
---
Collapse Project
---
Edit Project File
---
Copy as Project Reference
---
etc... I am almost out of screen space.

M_Lyons10 — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 14:21:13 GMT

This looks like a really cool tool, but it would be really great if there was a way to close all regions in an open code window. Is there any chance of something like this getting implemented? I think it would be VERY useful.

Thanks,

(On Vista 64) I've found that uninstalling PowerCommands and then reinstalling the latest version (not sure if I had the latest version before) makes the problem go away.
