New item is not in focused after creation using powershell

Question

When we create an item in a Sitecore bucket folder using PowerShell Extensions like shown below:

New-Item -Path "$PathofBucketFolder" -Name $TitleofanItem -ItemType $TemplateofanItem

The item gets created in the bucket based on the rule we have set but it does not get focused. I mean after the item is created author has to go to the folder and see. Whereas in normal Sitecore way when we create the item in the bucket, the newly created item is navigated automatically by Sitecore in the content editor.

So my question is, is it not possible to navigate to the item when the item is created using PowerShell Extensions.

The solution I have found is to force the Bucket Syncronization. To Force the syncronization you have two option:

1) Define a custom Commandlet as defined here

2) Mixing C# with Powershell and create your sync function as descibed here

$Assem = (
    “Sitecore.Kernel, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null” ,
    “Sitecore.Buckets, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null”
    )

$Source = @"
namespace Custom.Web.Powershell.Bucket{
    public class CustomBucketManager{
        public static void Sync(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item item)
        {
            using (new Sitecore.SecurityModel.SecurityDisabler())
            {
                Sitecore.Buckets.Managers.BucketManager.Sync(item);
            }
        }
        public static void Bucket(Sitecore.Data.Items.Item item)
        {
            using (new Sitecore.SecurityModel.SecurityDisabler())
            {
                Sitecore.Buckets.Managers.BucketManager.CreateBucket(item);
            }
        }
    }
}
