Icon overlays cannot be disabled in remote shares
Created originally on Bitbucket by enriquevagu
Hi,
I use the latest TortoiseHG 2.05 x64 on Windows 7. I use** network mounts to access shared drives on remote machines**, of two different types: Samba and SSHFS (this one using the implementation of Dokan SSHFS). In both cases, the shares are mounted using a local unit drive. I have selected the** "local disk only"** option for TortoiseHG's icon overlays; however, no matter the value of this field, the overlays are always applied on these network units. This has a significant negative impact on the speed of navigation through the different folders of the remote shares.
I don't know if this might be a problem of mounting the shares with a local drive letter; however, it would be nice if this case was detected as a non-local drive and the overlays avoided, because of their appreciable navigation speed slowdown. Alternatively, it would be nice if a** per-folder (or per-drive) icon overaly disabling option **could be applied, similarly to what is implemented in TortoiseSVN.
Thanks in advance!
