Unix-style line endings in PowerShell Studio

With the advent of PowerShell Core supporting cross-platform scripting with Linux and OSX, scripts will likely need to be saved with Unix-style line endings (LF) to ensure compatibility. Please contact me for a link to a discussion on Github about this topic.

Currently it seems that PowerShell Studio saves script files with Windows-style line endings (CRLF) and there doesn't seem to be a way to configure this behavior. Please add this capability to the Editor options menu, or possibly in the status bar next to the file encoding selector.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I can't post outside links in this forum since I'm a new poster. Maybe this will get you there?

I did send this URL over to June B. on twitter, so she can probably point you in the right direction as well.

Thanks!

You can now alter the file's line endings using the status bar:
