overlay-icons are mixed up

[frogl3p]

Hi everybody,

I am new to Multi Commander and playing with it to evaluate if I can use it as my daily file-manager. I am using Windows 11 and see the following problem with icons:

- SVN controlled folders, folders with the ".svn" inside, do not have the overlay Icons with the green checkmark.
- Junctions to folders, created with "mklink /J" have the green checkmark icon.

I havent found anything about this problem yet. I have found the post about the registry-keys but these key seem alright. Btw, the icons are correct in other file-managers like "Windows-Explorer" and "FreeCommander".

I have attached an screenshot to this post but was unable to embedd it in the text, sorry.

MC do not fetch overlay it self. MC ask Windows about the overlay icons.
The problem is that Windows only support 16 overlay icons..  So only the first 16 that are in the registry will work.
Also 32bit and 64bit extension that are installed can install different overlay.. If you run 64bit version of MC then MC only gets the shell extensions registered for 64bit.

REG:\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\  ( 64bit apps on 64bit system )
REG:\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers\  (32bit app on 64bit system)

They are loaded in alphabetic order. and only the 16 first are loaded.. as you see lots of them problably have space infront of the name to "force" them to be higher up the list.
