Issue 427: start menu entry http://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/stable/issue/427/start-menu-entry
Adrian Buehlmann / abuehl on Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:30:15 +0200: Comment: As soon as you want to have overlay icons, you need thgtaskbar.exe running anyway, as it is responsible for removing the unset entries in .hg/dirstate (see http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/DirState) and updating .hg/thgstatus. Mercurial leaves unset dirstate entries behind itself all the time (hg update). The shell extension detects these and triggers thgtaskbar.exe to fix .hg/dirstate, which is then reread by the shell extension. Unset entries in .hg/dirstate lead to false modified overlay icons on files in explorer. So unless you have overlay icons disabled globally, you definitely need thgtaskbar.exe running. The only moment when thgtaskbar.exe should not run is installing. Maybe we should indeed get away with the taskbar icon (like the TSVN folks do with TSVNCache.exe). See also <<issue 401>> , which wants to turn it off. To begin with, we should probably rename thgtaskbar.exe: maybe to "thgupdater.exe". The entry in the taskbar is really not the primary function of thgtaskbar.exe. The options dialog ui elements should then probably be moved back to where they previously were.
