TortoiseSVN missing overlays in win8

Tags:

tortoisesvn

I've recently installed a fresh win8 copy. After installing tortoiseSVN, it does recognize the folders as being under version control (the menu items are there), but no overlays on the icons. I Checked the registry settings as described here: TortoiseSVN icons not showing up under Windows 7 But the first 9 entries are all for tortoiseSVN and there are 4 others, so no problems there. What could be the problem?

Just restart and even with Tortoise SVN client 1.7. 9 you'll see your SVN overlay icons under Windows 10 again.

Why is SVN not showing green check?

Right click on a folder -> TortoiseSVN -> Settings -> Icon overlays -> Exclude paths: If there are green markers in the checked out subfolders you might have checked out into a subfolder of the folder you are looking at.

Go to regedit. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers. Add space before folders, example: "1TortoiseNormal" -> " 1TortoiseNormal". Restart computer. Works for me.
