Latest

What's Changed

Adds LastWriteTime property to TreeRegistryKey class by @santisq in #55. This exposes the last write time of registry keys, a property not available in .NET’s Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey class, using the Windows API RegQueryInfoKey.

v2.2.7

8644ff8

v2.2.7

What's Changed

This new version brings two small changes:

Ctrl+C Cancellation: Added support for gracefully canceling operations using Ctrl+C when the cmdlets are traversing a hierarchy. Previously, the only way to stop the process was by restarting the session.
Sort Order for Registry Keys: Similar to issue #9 but for the Get-PSTreeRegistry cmdlet. It now sorts Registry Keys in ascending order.

v2.2.5

c776a8f

v2.2.5

What's Changed

This version modifies the Get-PSTreeRegistry cmdlet to include registry default values (unnamed values displayed as (Default) in regedit), which were previously excluded due to a filter on empty value names.

Impact of the Change

Before: (Default) values (empty-named registry values) were excluded from the output:

PS ..\PSTree> Get-PSTreeRegistry Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibreOffice.Pdf\shell\new

Kind         Hierarchy
----         ---------
RegistryKey  new
RegistryKey  └── command

After: (Default) values are now included:

PS ..\PSTree> Get-PSTreeRegistry Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibreOffice.Pdf\shell\new

Kind         Hierarchy
----         ---------
RegistryKey  new
String       ├── (Default)
RegistryKey  └── command
String           └── (Default)

PS ..\PSTree> (Get-PSTreeRegistry Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LibreOffice.Pdf\shell\new)[-1].GetValue()
"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program\sdraw.exe" -n "%1"

v2.2.4

What's Changed

Optimized code to reduce memory allocations, improving performance for large data sets.
Adds -Include and -Exclude parameters to the Get-PSTreeRegistry cmdlet by @santisq in PR #46. These work similarly to their Get-PSTree counterparts—see the docs for details—but here’s a quick look at what’s now possible:

v2.2.3

What's Changed

Introduced the RegistryStyle class and added a Registry property to the TreeStyle class.
Moved file system style properties from TreeStyle to a new FileSystemStyle class, with a FileSystem property added to TreeStyle.

v2.2.2

5a2df36

v2.2.2

What's Changed

Renamed Output Types: Updated type names by removing the PS prefix (e.g., PSTreeFile → TreeFile, PSTreeRegistryKey → TreeRegistryKey) to improve naming consistency and clarity, making the module’s output objects more intuitive.
New Cmdlet: This version introduces Get-PSTreeRegistry, a new Windows-only cmdlet that traverses the Windows Registry in a tree-like format, enabling hierarchical exploration of registry keys and values for system configuration and troubleshooting. Explore its capabilities in the documentation or check out practical examples in the README. Note that this version does not include colorized output, but this feature is planned for future releases. If you have suggestions, spot any bugs, or want to contribute, please submit an issue.

v2.2.1

21dcdef

v2.2.1

What's Changed

Big code refactoring, this update improves readability and simplicity.
Updates to -Include and -Exclude parameters, with this update the patterns are evaluated using the
object's .Name property instead of .FullName.

In addition to the above, this update improves how the cmdlet displays trees when -Include is used.
Before, the cmdlet would display sub-trees where no files were matched by the include patterns. Now, only trees having files matched by the patterns are displayed.
