ShellIconOverlays updated in TortoiseSVN but not TortoiseGit, this make icons to display and sometimes not

By ...@heapoverflow.com on August 14, 2011 18:08 (imported from Google Code)


TortoiseSVN now stores its ShellIconOverlays in

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\1TortoiseNormal
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\2TortoiseModified
etc...

TortoiseGit still store the overlays the old way :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\TortoiseNormal
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\TortoiseModified
etc...

this breaks the maximum number of overlays allowed in Windows (15) and then we get unexpected issues like some overlays not displaying at all, refresh time very long etc

Could you fixe this issue in priority please

Tested:
Tortoisegit-1.6.5.0-64bit.msi
with
TortoiseSVN-1.7.0-beta2-x64-svn-1.7.0-dev
tortoisehg-2.1.2-hg-1.9.1-x64

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
