ShellIconOverlays updated in TortoiseSVN but not TortoiseGit, this make icons to display and sometimes not
By [email protected] 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
