Thanks for your reply, Stefan. Forgive me: I certainly didn't intend to
be insulting to your work! Icon overlays are one of the most useful
things of tsvn, and hard to imagine loosing. But I am tempted to turn
them off due to browsing slow-downs. Is there anything I can do to get
my browsing back?
But please help me understand: why would tsvn take up to 12 seconds to
show all the icons in my root svn folder (during that time it leaves my
mouse cursor a sand timer and I can't browse)? I'm in the root folder
of a large (6GB) checkout. I can understand that it might take a while
the first time if I had 'default' mode on because it might have to scan
6GB of data. But this folder contains no files; only subfolders. So if
I have it in 'shell' mode, it doesn't really need to scan any files,
does it? -- since shell mode only shows status in the current folder and
there are no files in the current folder? What have I misunderstood?
Also, I vaguely remember that some years ago explorer would update the
icons in the background and I could still browse while it was slowing
filling in the green icons for me. Has this changed, or is something
strange happening on my PC?
Thanks,
Berwyn
