Enhancements for the XenApp Publishing Extension

I’ve been thinking about adding some new enhancements to the XenApp Publishing Extension, but before doing so I’m curious to see how useful the community thinks they are.  To answer this question, I’ve decided to post a blog where you can give feedback on each enhancement.  If these ideas get a lot of votes, you’ll probably see them come to life.

So here we go.  The first idea is to add offline app support to the XenApp Publishing Extension.  This means you would be able to right-click a .profile in Windows and publish one of its apps to your farm.

The next idea is to add PowerShell support to the XenApp Publishing Extension.  Right now the extension publishes online apps via MFCOM.  A set of PowerShell cmdlets known as the XenApp Commands have been released as a Technology Preview and can also be used to publish both online and offline apps.  Since the code for the XenApp Publishing Extension is available, adding support for this would also be a good reference for anyone that’s interested in calling the cmdlets from a .NET app.

Thanks in advance for your votes!
