README

PS module with various functions.

  • Get-TagMetadata: Retrieve the Keyword tag from supported image files. Returns an object containing @{ FileInfo File, string[] Keywords } for each file.
  • Set-Shortcut: Takes an url and creates a shortcut to it in the current folder or in the OutputPath folder. Returns a FileInfo object pointing to the created shortcut(s).

Example of use

Import-Module .\PSGetTagMetadata.dll
# Find all jpg and png images with just one tag, and create a shortcut to them.
$myfiles = gci -Path "C:\users\username\Pictures\" -Recurse -Include "*.jpg","*.png" | Get-TagMetadata | ? { $_.Keywords.Count -eq 1 }
$myfiles | % { $_.File } | Set-Shortcut -OutputPath .\MyFolder\ -Verbose

Debugging

I have no idea how to debug a powershell module with the dotnet tool. And dotnet build doesnt copy over dependency dlls to the bin folder. So for the moment I use dotnet publish then import the dll. And use good old WriteVerbose() (aka console.log) to debug this app.

TO DO

  • Turn it into a proper module with a manifest, and publish it.
