Yep, although "Ovl" looks a bit stupid. But, let's not continue discussing this before I decide to make the column...j_c_hallgren wrote:Exactly! But since it's a very narrow field, maybe "Ovl" so no excess space -- unless you plan to have multiple icons side-by-side?admin wrote:Yes, "Overlay" for example.

Re: Icon Overlays and TortoiseSVN 1.5
Yeah, I don't know how it could be achieved either. It's a shame because Microsoft keeps complaining in their blog posts about how overlays kind of suck since they can only relay 1 detail about a file, but they don't provide a way to get around this limitation either. This is why they continue to mention adding or using columns instead.admin wrote:I don't know a way to get more than one overlay information. Windows clearly states one overlay (or none). The negotiation is done before the results are fed to the API.
Interesting thought, not sure if left or right of file icon makes more sense but it could be a good approach.admin wrote:Conc. the column: I surely plan to add shell columns but this is a big feature (in the sense of: a lot of tricky work, and probably a long debug phase).
But: if sorting is not that important I could quite quickly add an option to draw the normal icon column (after widening it by 16 pixels) so that the overlay is drawn on the left and the icon on the right. Would that help? (Advantage: the same method could also be applied to non-Details views)
Though it might be a bit ugly if you don't ensure that the file icons and names are still aligned in a grouping of files with and without overlays.

Re: Icon Overlays and TortoiseSVN 1.5
Agree that as long as overlays and icons are lined up in sub-columns, this approach should work as a interim solution and would help make the actual icons clearer without them being overlaid...and the fact that it works in non-Details is definitely good.TheQwerty wrote:Interesting thought, not sure if left or right of file icon makes more sense but it could be a good approach.admin wrote:But: if sorting is not that important I could quite quickly add an option to draw the normal icon column (after widening it by 16 pixels) so that the overlay is drawn on the left and the icon on the right.

Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

Re: Icon Overlays and TortoiseSVN 1.5
I spoke too soon: I don't find a way to retrieve the position of the overlays in the system image list.
After you browsed a location with overlays, you will see the overlays at random positions in this list (only Windows knows where which icon is positioned and why) running this script:
I'm not aware of any API that tells me the position of the 15 possible overlays.

EDIT: How obtuse of me... completely ignoring that these are all interfaces you'd need to implement, huh?
