(Solved) TortoiseSVN overlay icons not shown on unc path
TC shows the TortoiseSVN overlay icons only on the local drives, and not on the UNC network path (\\server\share\SVNWorkingFolder). Explorer shows the icons correctly.
Can anyone confirm this?

This must be a bug in Tortoise - Total Commander is requesting the overlay icons also on shares. It does work for the little arrow of lnk files.
Edit: It's a configuration option in Tortoise. Right click on a folder with SVN icon and choose TortoiseSVN - Configure. Then go to the "Icon overlays" page. Here only "Fixed drives" was checked. When I checked "Network drives", the overlays were shown here also on shares.

I had that checked, and as I mentioned in my report, Explorer shows the icons correctly. Could it be that the share is a hidden share?
\\w7tsapp\c$\Documents and Settings\SanskritFritz\My Documents\FlyerMass\
PS: I just checked with a normal share (\\w7tsapp\Documents\FlyerMass\), same problem

I have only tested with the shares on my own PC - I don't have Tortoise installed on any other computer here. Anyway, I have no influence on that, TC does request the icons. Maybe you can check the source of Tortoise...

Ah, thanks for the clarification! Yes, indeed this turns off also overlay icons, because they tend to be slow on network drives just like per file icons...
