Icons on the SVN tortoise appear everywhere ... Why?

Question

Update: So this has nothing to do with Tortoise SVN. I use Mozy.com for off-site backups, and their new version includes these icon overlays. They can be disabled using the configuration options ... or here http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?p=1385433 . Thanks @OS for the answer.

For some time, my Vista dashboard used Tortoise SVN. Over the past few days (and after upgrading to 1.5.4), icons are superimposed on all files.

My exception path:

*

My include paths:

C: \ Users \ jw \ Documents \ Visual Studio 2008 \ Projects \ SVNProjects *

C: \ Users \ jw \ Documents \ VB Projects \ SVNProjects *

I have not touched these settings for several months. Any ideas? Help. Thanks.

Answer 1

Something similar happened to me a few days ago, and it turns out that it is not related to Tortoise ... I use Mozy to automatically back up files, and their latest update includes icons very similar to Tortoise to mark backup files .

Answer 2

Icons usually appear for folders for files in a folder with a hidden subfolder .svn. It looks like your cache cache is corrupted. You can also check the Icon Overlays section of the Preferences dialog box. If it uses the default cache, try killing the TSVNCache.exe process. If he uses the chell cache, kill expl.exe, in the cmd window, go to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local , enter " attrib –h IconCache.db " and then " del IconCache.db " and run explorer.exe.

Answer 3

Icons may disappear due to the limited number of windows that Windows will support. See http://tortoisesvn.net/faq.html#ovlnotshowing

Answer 4

I agree with marxidad,

you can also try rebuilding the icon cache of turtles using

TortoiseProc.exe / Command: rebuildiconcache

from the command line.
