Powershell: Feature Request: Write-Progress display in the Windows Notification Center

[Jack-Works]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Write-Progress can display its progress like this

This can be opt-in so it's not breaking the existing program.

[vexx32]

It's not a builtin, but I believe the BurntToast module would be capable of something like this.

[rjmholt]

This sounds like something that's probably better implemented as a module

[Jack-Works]

Does it possible to rewrite the built-in Write-Progress from the user land?

[rjmholt]

Various possibilities are:

• Write a new PSHost (a lot of work) that hooks the underlying progress API up to this. Probably not ideal here
• Override Write-Progress with your own command that redirects progress to the WNC (this would probably break a number of applications depending on Write-Progress to write to the host)
• Write a new module and define something like Write-WncProgress to allow both to be used side-by-side

I’m going to close this feature request as out-of-scope for the PowerShell project, noting @iSazonov’s point about required dependencies
