Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/11326

State: closed
Merged: Yes


Summary of the Pull Request

Similar to vswhere -latest, show only the latest Visual Studio command prompts / developer PowerShell. This was tested by deleting the local package state and testing against fresh state with both VS2019 and VS2022 Preview installed, and indeed VS2022 Preview (both cmd and powershell) show. The other profiles were generated but hidden by default.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

The sort algorithm is the same basic algorithm I used in https://github.com/microsoft/vswhere. It sorts first by installation version with a secondary sort based on the install date in case the installation versions are the same.

Validation Steps Performed

With both VS2019 and VS2022 Preview installed, I made sure the initial state was expected, and tried different combinations of hiding and unhiding generated entries, and restarted Terminal to make sure my settings "stuck".
