Hi Matt - One of the improvements made this release is the addition of a Directory switch parameter to Get-ChildItem. That means that the following commands will all work

Get-ChildItem -Directory

dir -Directory

dir -ad

Thanks

New to PowerShell. I found that all the file related commands required me to work hard to find directorys or sub directorys. Could we a simple swithch for directory. It all seemed simpler with batch files ie "dir c:\*.* /ad

I don't like Connect as it is clumsy to use. The UI is slow and the search is bad.

Example: I have filed a suggestion on improving the .. operator in order to also accept a step value, e.g. 1..10..2 to give you (1, 3, 5, ..., 10), but when I now search for ".. operator" on Connect, my suggestion is nowhere to be found. Badly designed site.

Luke - Yes. Get-ACL has been updated to support LiteralPath.

@Josh: Is TxFS support a connect item? If it isn't, it can get voted on and prioritized. I think we need to all be realistic about expectations. For example, I wouldn't personally vote on a such a feature: It's pretty simple to do file system operations and simply capture errors, so I'd prefer that the limited resources of the PowerShell team be used elsewhere myself.

By any chance has Get-ACL been updated to support -LiteralPath? That's the one that get's me all the time

But still no transactional file system. :(
