Description

There's currently an implementation of a PowerShell Cmdlet in the MetadataExtractor.PowerShell project. It works well enough though suggestions for extensions are welcome.

What remains to do is determine how to publish it such that it can be installed directly from the PowerShell command line. There appears to be a standard way of doing this. It may or may not require some kind of manifest to ensure dependency dlls are also included.

Another extension would be to expand all values from the XmpMeta object, rather than using the few present in XmpDirectory.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to create a PowerShell module manifest and publish it to the PowerShell Gallery. Also consider expanding XMP metadata extraction in the PowerShell cmdlet.
