I tested this with Notepad. When using File | Open, TSVN loads the same
regardless. You also still show your normal context menus. Of course, this
setting is about overlays. But you, Stefan, did bring it up.
This is where a small (8-20k) dll would be useful. It could check a
setting, probably a new one, before using true dynamic linking with
LoadLibrary() to load your main dll. Preferably, this small dll would have
no reference even to c libraries. With Notepad, on WinXP, having TSVN
installed adds about 1800k of additional "Mem Usage" to File | Open. I
don't know how much of this is true memory consumption and how much is
actually shared code with the same dlls in other processes. Any idea which
columns in taskmgr or procexp make this distinction?
While certainly not urgent, it might be nice. I would do it myself, but I
can't get to it right now.
