Overlay icons (Shell) sometimes don't refresh
David Balažic
I have TortoiseSVN 1.6.10, Build 19898 - 32 Bit , 2010/07/16 15:46:08
on Windows XP Pro SP3.
I have a WC from a local repo (file:///F:/something/foo/...).
I have set Icon Overlays Status cache to "Shell".
In the WC I created a new folder and two text files in it.
Then I added the folder (and content) to SVN, but the icons were not showing the
new status.
I also commited them but the icons are still as for normal files (non-SVN).
I tried F5 several times, also closing all Explorer windows.
Other folder in the same parent folder have the correct SVN overlays.
They are not in exclude path. (actually all my drives are in exclude
and the WC parent folder is in include path).
Any idea why it is not working?
If I change an older text file in same WC, it's icon changes even without F5.

A few second after sending that email I noticed that the icons of
the two new text files changed to the correct form.
Also the folder icon, but only in the right part of Explorer, in
the folder tree, it was still without overlay. Even after pressing
F5 again. In a newlz opened Explorer window, even the folder tree is OK.
So the question is, why did it not update at the first attempt?

David

Windows has always been a bit flaky with keyboard events. When you use F5 it only works on the control that has the focus. So essentially, if you've selected a file on the right hand side and hit F5 you are only refreshing the right hand side. If you have a folder selected on the left hand side and press F5 you are only refreshing that side. If something else has focus like the main window itself, or the address bar, F5 has no effect. That's all behavior outside the control of Tortoise. Using the View-Refresh at least forces the refresh on both sides of the pane. Newer versions of Explorer (like with Windows 7) will invoke the refresh at regular intervals for you.
I believe that there is also a delay as the process that manages the display of icons has to check the metadata for its current state. But that doesn't get kicked off until it intercepts the refresh event...

AFAIK, the overlay icons are only refreshed when TSVNCache visits a
directory. I guess it just took a while before that happened in your case.
To watch TSVNCache working, you can add the registry setting
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseSVN\CacheTrayIcon = 1 (DWORD). Then
double click on the tray icon, and watch TSVNCache crawl through
directories.

You can force the TSVNCache process to restart by either killing it from
the Task Manager or by running a cleanup.

My appologies. I'm forced to use this crapola Outlook, and it took a
while to find the right setting.

Thanks! Looks much nicer, doesn't it?

I don't have a TSVNCache process.

What folder view are you looking at. If it is in the treeview of XP's explorer... those are pretty much never right. They only update when you close any containing folders, F5 then re-open them. Folders in the list view of the XP explorer should always update when you press F5 when using "shell" overlay mode.

He is using "shell" overlay mode.. so there is no TSVNCache daemon running.
