Shell Integration (Windows)

These settings configure the Shell Integration of SmartSVN.

Select for which drive types and in which range of functions the shell integration shall be applicable. For every drive type you can choose whether to show Icon Overlays (and the context menu) or only the Context Menu or have the shell integration be completely Disabled.

If necessary, specify further Paths for which the shell integration will only be applicable with a limited range of functions, either only the Context Menu or completely Disabled. Use only plain paths, like c:\temp or n:, but no patterns here.

Note

In general it's recommended to have Icon Overlays only present for Fixed Drives because the display of the overlays requires a rather good performance for the when accessing the SVN admin area.

When having working copies located on fast network shares, Icon Overlays should work here well, too. In case you have a mixture of fast network shares and e.g. slow VPN-tunneled shares, you may exclude the latter ones by the Paths input field.

Status Cache

Use Configure Status Cache to configure the Status Cache. This requires the Status Cache service running.

In the dialog you can configure the Cache Roots which will be served by the Status Cache. Enter every root directory on a new line, wildcards are not allowed here.

Optionally you can reset the Status Cache by Clear all cached status information. Selecting this option is only recommended if you definitely want to get rid of cached status information for a certain root directory as cached information is not discarded by simply removing this root directory from the Cache Roots list.
