Speaking of which, Explorer allows only fifteen slots for icon overlays, ignoring all in excess. As discussed on http://selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/2008-April/018616.html I haven't heard of TortoiseHG going wild in that situation. The overlay icons are simply not displayed in that case. The rest of THG still works. As a (hopefully) last comment on this thread, the THG overlay handler still caches filenames and reads local and global hgrc files even if the icons are disabled globally in Mercurial.ini, thus wasting CPU time and memory for users wanting to permanently *not* having any overlay icons on any repository. THG overlay handler also kicks in if an open file dialog from *any* application is opened. Removing the entries in the registry, as I wrote, is the most effective solution with regards to speed for the case when the user permanently doesn't want to have any overlay icons ever. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
