Do you like ISE-Cream?

ISE-Cream is a CodePlexProject to extend ISE the new editor of PowerShell V2 CTP 3.

You can forget all the prehistoric, not windows like copy & paste keys and convert to uniform ^C ^V .

The countdown for this final transistion is allready running.

No actually that is a completely unrelated event, which shows how easy datetime could be handled in databaseworld, if only if were invented by mathematicians.

The database example shows , that it is important to start with a clear vision, otherwise you will have to fix it later with functions like set datefirst. I use this function every day, so with me it is allways saturday. (I didn't chose sunday - in germany the shops would be closed).

Back to PowerShell reality. I started to design some categories, which might help the project in organizing the contributions:

• basic function [that means reinventing of the wheel]

• load - save [with session and history]

• print - export (to html, rtf, etc.)

• invoke files - scriptblocks - lines - regions

• editing tasks

• comment - identify - beautytifier

• snippets

• introspection - expand alias - syntax check - tabcompletion

• other text transforms e.g. sorting of lines

• ISE caller - profile management

• Custumization - Custom memue

Happy extending
