How do I get XY explorer to display TortoiseHg icon overlays

[MrAnalogy]

I'm using XY 15.70.0100 and TortoiseHg version control on Windows 7 / 64 bit.

I can see the TortoiseHg icon overlays in Windows Explorer, but not in XY.

Any tips?

The tip in this message and thread has helped me to solve my very same problem with TortoiseSVN.

Hi Filehero & MrAnalogy,
Can both Toroise and Mercurial be used for small-scale development such as XYS, VBA and VBS?

Of course.

You don't even need any devlopment tasks at all to make use out of an versioning system/concept.

You make my day. Now Toroise+Mercurial is on my learning list after XYS and VBS/VBA.
Thank you.

While I was a big fan of Mercurial, at this point if you want to learn any version control system your time will probably be better spent on Git.

It's currently the most popular, thanks in large part to GitHub, and as a consequence you'll find a vast amount of resources, better integration/third-party tools, and are more likely to see it in use elsewhere.

That said, for most basic users the differences are negligible and it's just a shame that Hg seems to have "lost" the popularity contest.
