Button to toggle "show icon overlays"

Hi,
It seems to me that if "show icon overlays" is checked, it has a small impact on performance.
So I like to keep it off, however sometimes I like to see overlay icons for a git repo (TortoiseGit icons).
I think it would be useful/helpful if there was a button in the toolbar that I could use to toggle this option,
Thanks
rb

If you are referring to icon overlays on thumbnails, this will do it. Assign it to a custom toolbar button or UDC. Try it from the address bar or run script.

No, I'm referring to the setting under General->Refresh, Icons, History->Show icon overlays

I've been trying this script:
sendkeys '{PGUP}{r}%i{ }{ENTER}';#600;
But it doesn't do it...

This worked:
Code: Select all
sendkeys '{PGUP}{r}%i{ENTER}';#600;
I found if I set a hotkey for it (Ctrl+Shift+O), then it doesn't work properly: The configuration dialog pops up, and goes to the first section (Tree and List), but does nothing further. My guess is that pressing the hotkey interferes with the execution of sendkeys..

The next beta allows you to toggle it via scripting:
Code: Select all
conf("ShowIconOverlays", 0, 1); //toggle 0/1
You can then use e.g. a custom toolbar button or a bookmark button to open it to the mouse.
