I'm afraid, there is still a very fundamental problem with the available slots for overlay handlers on Windows. We use the TortoiseOverlays package of TortoiseSVN (which was invented to end the fight for slots among the different tortoises). TortoiseOverlays registers 9 (nine) handlers. >From these we use four for TortoiseHg: "clean", "modified", "added" and "question mark" (aka "unknown"). We use the question mark handler for the directories, where we have no status info stored (so the user gets a visual feedback when we don't know what to show on a directory). On Vista, it seems there are only eleven slots available for overlay handlers in total. Take TortoiseHg plus for example perforce shell integration (3 handlers) and the added handler of thg won't work anymore. Solution on Vista: don't install any other overlay handlers. On Windows 7, the situation is even worse, as win 7 comes preinstalled with 3 shiny handlers by Microsoft. Add the nine of TortoiseOverlays and say good bye to the question mark handler of thg. Solution on Win 7: use autostart by sysinternals and disable the unneeded overlay handlers. This problem is unlikely to be solved for 0.8. (But note that this is not a new problem. Same limits exist with <0.8. But with 0.8 we will probably get more users trying Vista and Win7) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-discuss
