solution to disappearing SVN overlay icons
If you are using both: SVN (Tortoise SVN) and Total Commander you may have encountered some problems regarding overlay icons. There is a special option in Total Commander available that forces it to display SVN (and not only) overlay icons, but not only me was having a problem with it. The strange thing was that icons were visible in Explorer, but not inside TC. The solution I came upon was to open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and manually kill “TSVNcache.exe”. After a while icons appeared in TC, and the problem seem to be gone – till the next reboot. The solution was not very convenient, so I was looking for some smarter approach to this problem. And finally I have found one. It didn’t work immediately (I had to reboot) but now it works fine (sometimes icons do not appear at once, but after a couple of minutes after booting everything is ok). It is funny, that I didn’t think of doing so before, and that nobody on TC forum knew about how to find a way round this problem.
