psproductivitytools's Introduction

Introduction

The PSProductivityTools PowerShell module contains commands for productivity tools & topics such as time management.

Installation

The module is published to the PowerShell Gallery, which means you can install it using the following command from the PowerShellGet module:

Install-Module -Name PSProductivityTools

or the following if you want it installed the current users profile ($env:userprofile\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules) rather than the system wide location ($env:programfiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules):

Install-Module -Name PSProductivityTools -Scope CurrentUser

When a new version is released with bug fixes or new functionality you can update to the latest version simply by typing the following command:

Update-Module -Name PSProductivityTools

PowerShellGet is included by default in PowerShell V5, and available downlevel for PowerShell 3.0 and 4.0.

If you want to install the module without leveraging PowerShellGet, you can either clone the Git-repository or download this ZIP-file and place the contains in one of the following locations:

$env:userprofile\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSProductivityTools
$env:programfiles\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSProductivityTools

Error when executing two times

Hi
I,m trying your script and be impressed. Nice idea.

When i start Skype for Business 2015 and execute

Start-Pomodoro -Minutes 1 -EndPersonalNote "Testing...

everything works fine. Great, thanks a lot.

C:\Users\myuser> Start-Pomodoro -Minutes 1 -EndPersonalNote "Testing...
WARNING: Skype for Business client is not running or signed in, no action was performed
Updated Skype for Business client status to custom activity 1 (Pomodoro Sprint) and personal note: Getting stuff done, will be available at 09:49

But the second time it failes and unfortunatly I cant find the issue.


C:\Users\myuser> Start-Pomodoro -Minutes 1 -EndPersonalNote "Testing..."

Do you have any hint where the problem could be?

Add support for launching Spotify

Add support for launcing Spotify in the same parameter set as -StartMusic, for example like this:
Start-Process ‘spotify:user:johanbrook:playlist:2mtlhuFVOFMn6Ho3JmrLc2’

Idea provided in this blog comment.

Please handle user ending script (Ctrl+C)

I think it would be great, if for any reason the user had to abort the Pomodoro script in PowerShell (e.g. clicking Ctrl+C), that you could handle reverting all of the settings that were changed. For example, I found this blog post about how to handle that: http://sushihangover.blogspot.com/2012/03/powershell-using-try-finally-block-to.html.

I also thought, since most Gets have a related Set and most Starts have a related Stop, that it would be cool if there were a Stop-Pomodoro cmdlet that would also reset all settings back to Available/Disturb-able.

Thanks! Great tool, btw.

Unable to reset location

There seems to be no way to reset the Location field to be empty. Setting the Location flag to "" doesn't have any result since Publish-SfBContactInformation.ps1 checks if $Location is true, and Powershell sets empty strings to return false. Perhaps changing the statement to if ($Location -ne $null) could resolve this?

Exception calling "BeginPublishContactInformation" with "3" argument(s)

Hello,

I tried using the module
Publish-SfBContactInformation -CustomActivityId 5 -Availability Away -PersonalNote "Getting Coffee" -Location "@Kitchen"

unfortunately it fails with the following error:

PS C:\Users\MyUser> Publish-SfBContactInformation -CustomActivityId 4 -Availability Away -PersonalNote "Getting Coffee" -Location "The Kitchen"
MethodInvocationException: C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\PowerShell\Modules\PSProductivityTools\0.7\Functions\Publish-SfBContactInformation.ps1:132

I have Office Professional 2016 32-bit on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
I have also installed the necessary SDK: lyncsdk86.msi

Unfortunately I do not know how to fix this. Must the id exist in the CustomPreference.xml?
