Change session image by PNG disk file using Devolutions.Powershell module

Published 6 months ago

Hi,

I have a lot of country related folders which are named based on the ISO Country Code. For example:

On disk I have .PNG files representing the flag for each country and these files are also named based on the ISO Country code. For example:

NL.png
US.png
DE.png

To avoid a lot of manual labor, I want to change the image/icon of each folder entry by using the Devolutions.Powershell module, but I don't know how.

This won't work at least:
$PNGFile = Get-ChildItem "C:\Country Flags\*.png" | where name -match ".$($CountryCode).png"
$Session.image = $PNGFile.FullName

I found the solution myself and I sincerely hope that I didn't spoiled too much of your time. Just for the record, my PS Code is:

<#
Folder structure syntax:
	Sessions
		Countries		------> Will be the parent folder in this script
			<CC>		------> Is the two letter ISO Country Code. This folder will get the flag as its image/icon
				<City>
				
Folder structure example:
	Sessions
		Countries
			BE
			DE
				Berlin
				Hamburg
			ES
				Barcelona
				Madrid
				Sevilla
			FR
				Paris
			NL
			IT
				Rome
			UK
#>


# Reading the parent folder
$ParentFolder = @(Get-RDMSession -ID 4ac1b844-5a96-4252-8da5-54a9e908dc30)

# Getting all folders including subfolders
$AllFolders = @(Get-RDMSession -GroupName $ParentFolder.Group -Type Group -IncludeSubFolders)

# Filtering the results because they include the parent folder too
$AllFolders = @($AllFolders | where-object {$_.ID -ne $ParentFolder.ID })

# Looping through each subfolder representing a country
foreach ($CountryFolder in $AllFolders)
{
	if ($CountryFolder.name.Length -eq 2) 
	{
		# Storing the folder name as the country code
		$CountryCode = $CountryFolder.name

		# Reading PNG file by using a name filter
		$PNGFile = Get-ChildItem "C:\Temp\Country Flags\*.png" -ErrorAction Stop | where name -match ".$($CountryCode).png"
		
		# Only do something when the PNG file exists.
		if ($PNGFile.count -eq 1)
		{
			$bytes = [System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($PNGFile.fullName)
			$CountryFolder.Image = $bytes
			set-rdmsession $CountryFolder -ErrorAction Stop
		}
	}
}
