Thanks.
I tried that (I built our TortoiseHg installer using 1.0.15 and tested
that). But, no, it doesn't. Unfortunately.
When using TortoiseOverlays (TO) 1.0.15 on a clean install of Win 7
Ultimate x64 or Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, the unversioned handler as
installed by TO is not initialized for 64-bit processes. 32-bit
processes on both of these platforms show the unversioned icon (Question
mark) fine.

I guess we already do mess with other apps or Windows itself. The pure
act of installing registry entries in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
seems to influence on other apps.
I found the following:
After the 64-bit TortoiseOverlays 1.0.15 is installed, I see the
following entries under the above mentioned registry key (in regedit):
EnhancedStorageShell {D9144DCD-E998-4ECA-AB6A-DCD83CCBA16D}
Offline Files {4E77131D-3629-431c-9818-C5679DC83E81}
SharingPrivate {08244EE6-92F0-47f2-9FC9-929BAA2E7235}
TortoiseAdded {C5994566-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseConflict {C5994562-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseDeleted {C5994565-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseIgnored {C5994567-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseLocked {C5994563-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseModified {C5994561-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseNormal {C5994560-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseReadOnly {C5994564-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
TortoiseUnversioned {C5994568-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
Regedit lists these entries in that order, so I asked myself if it could
be a problem that the TortoiseUnversioned handler is the last one in the
list. Most interestingly, the MS Windows preinstalled entries
(EnhancedStorageShell, Offline Files and SharingPrivate) happen to
appear *before* the Tortoise entries, due to the alphabetic sorting.
So I tested editing the registry be renaming the Tortoise entries to
insert a "0" (zero char) before the "Tortoise", which lead to the
following entries in regedit (in that order):
0TortoiseAdded {C5994566-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseConflict {C5994562-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseDeleted {C5994565-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseIgnored {C5994567-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseLocked {C5994563-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseModified {C5994561-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseNormal {C5994560-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseReadOnly {C5994564-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
0TortoiseUnversioned {C5994568-53D9-4125-87C9-F193FC689CB2}
EnhancedStorageShell {D9144DCD-E998-4ECA-AB6A-DCD83CCBA16D}
Offline Files {4E77131D-3629-431c-9818-C5679DC83E81}
SharingPrivate {08244EE6-92F0-47f2-9FC9-929BAA2E7235}
Guess what: after logoff/login, the unversioned icon worked in 64-bit
processes!
So, I bet (unproven claims):
(1) The ordering of the entries in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
is relevant
(2) The entries are loaded in alphabetic order
(3) Entries that exceed a limit of entries (whatever that is) are ignored
So if we use the name "TortoiseUnversioned" for the unversioned handler,
it will be the last one initialized by explorer (if at all) and thus the
first one of the Tortoise entries being ignored in case there are too
many entries.
And it looks like after installing TortoiseOverlays x64 on a Win 7 x64
Ultimate or Vista x64 Ultimate, there too many entries under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
The name used for the entries seems to be irrelevant -- setting ordering
aside.
On Windows 7 x86 the unversioned overlay -- as installed by
TortoiseOverlays x86 version 1.0.15 -- works fine, since it installs its
keys under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
using the following
names (complete listing of the entries found below that registry key):
1TortoiseNormal
2TortoiseModified
3TortoiseConflict
4TortoiseLocked
5TortoiseReadOnly
6TortoiseDeleted
7TortoiseAdded
8TortoiseIgnored
9TortoiseUnversioned
EnhancedStorageShell
Offline Files
SharingPrivate
So there, it seems we have an ordering that happens to be favorable for us.
Is there any specific reason for using different names in
TortoiseOverlays x64 (compared to the ones used in TortoiseOverlays x86) ?
