CodeManager 5 released!

I’m happy to announce the release of PowerShell CodeManager 5.0!

CodeManager? Yes, I changed the name again. :)  But not (just) for fun. As the added support for scripts in the last version might have indicated, this tool is becoming more and more about PowerShell code in general, not just in the form of snippets.

So this time I did not (just) built in the usual annual improvements about handling snippets. For this 5th anniversary release, I implemented a whole bunch of great new features. One of these new features for example, tells me that this version has 14004 lines of powershell code, including 193 functions and that I used 1725 unique variables and is therefore not just feature-wise the biggest update for this tool yet. :)

So here is whats new:

Code Visualizer

The new Visualizer creates interactive function dependency graphs. That means it displays all the functions of a script and connects them, to depict how they interact with each other and from where they are being called.

Interactive Map –Each element of the graph can be clicked to show the code of the selected function and the position from where a function is being called.

Documentation – Document the logical structure of your script. Graphs can be printed and saved either as a PNG image or in vector format to allow further editing in any vector capable graphics tool.

Zoom in – Graphs can be created for complete scripts, as well as single functions and their relations.

Customize – You can choose between different layout algorithms, connector-types and color schemes. Nodes and connectors can be manually rearranged.

Code Manager  (former “Snippet Injector”)

Function Explorer – Overview and quick direct access to all functions in a script, module or snippet

Script Execution – Launch scripts directly from CodeManager with quick access to command line options

File Monitor – CodeManager now watches all locations for changes and quickly and quietly updates any changes made outside code explorer

Partial Reindexing – Helpful for larger script and snippet libraries: in most cases, necessary re-indexing is now limited to the folder the change occurred in.

Quick Search Option Buttons – For inside script code search and regular expressions

Custom Font Settings – Font type and size can now be set for the code window and code explorer

And:

– Support for PowerShell modules

– Full set of explorer functions now supported

– New keyboard shortcuts added (see help file for complete list)

– Performance Options for slow computers regarding syntax coloring of huge scripts and code search

Code Window

Info Window – Quick info to file -path, -size, -attributes, -hash, -description and code statistics.

Inside Code Search – Next-/Last-result buttons to click though all search results / highlight all results option

Edit and Save Scripts – Not meant for script writing (yet J), but useful for quick changes and before execution edits

Quick Snippet creation – From selection inside code window

Now Resizable

Floating Launcher

New Design / Dark and Bright Theme available

Four Sizes to choose from

Sounds good? Then…
