Custom Project Templates

[amoseng]

Product, version and build: PowerShell Studio 2019 v5.6.160
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64
Operating system: Windows 10
32 or 64 bit OS: 64

I've been looking into optimizing my workflows by creating some custom templates, but from what I can tell there is no way to create custom collection project templates?

I have pretty standardized file structures in use, containing more than just PowerShell files, but I've not found a way to incorporate this into a project template.

Is this possible? Please also let me know if it's not possible, as I then should probably file a feature request...

Thanks!

The product doesn't have a built-in mechanism to create a project template, but you can easily copy the default template and add any necessary files.

How to create your own project template:

Step 1:
Copy the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\SAPIEN\PowerShell Studio 2019\Templates\Project Templates\Collection Project

Step 2:
Paste the folder into this directory (You may have to create it):

C:\Users\David\AppData\Roaming\SAPIEN\PowerShell Studio\Templates\Project Templates

Step 3:
Rename the folder and the files contains within.
For example:
My Collections Project
My Collections Project\My Collection Project.psproj
My Collections Project\My Collection Project.psproj.pstemplate

Step 4: Add any additional files into the Project folder.

Step 5: Update the description in the pstemplate file.

Step 6: Update the pstemplate's files element to include the addition files:

Code: Select all

<Files>
	<File>NewFile.p1</File>
</Files>

Step 7: Update the psproj files element to include the addition files:

Code: Select all

<Files>
	<File>NewFile.p1</File>
</Files>

The new project template should appear when you select New Project in PowerShell Studio.
