Feature Request: Add "Start PowerShell..." to File Menu

[markekraus]

This is great! I think this could really improve several of my workflows. I'd love to see a "Start PowerShell..." option added to the start menu.

Good idea.

What shortcut key should I bind to this command? ^p ?

[alanwei43]

Do you mean this ？

OR
Windows + X ？

@Allen-wei I guess he meant s/start menu/file menu of winfile.exe

Maybe one more Shift would change CMD to PowerShell ?

[markekraus]

@Allen-wei Yes, I am very much aware of how to do this in windows and explorer and the start menu. However, my ask is for it to be added to winfile.exe's File menu where currently only starting a normal command prompt is possible. This is, after all, the winefile repository.

@craigwi if ctrl+p is not taken, then that would be awesome!

[craigwi]

ctrl+p it is. @markekraus, check out https://github.com/Microsoft/winfile/tree/fixissue1 and let me know if that works for you. If so, I'll integrate to master.

@craigwi I can't speak for the powershell.exe detection as I'm not familiar with C registry APIs, but the rest LGTM!

It seems there's a little bug with this (and also the "Start Cmd Shell" command) is that if nothing has been selected yet in either the tree or file list then it crashes. The call to GetSelection(...) returns NULL and this isn't checked. I guess in this case it should fall back to the current directory being shown in the selected window.
