10 A few infrequently used settings are available only in the advanced\r
11 page of the settings dialog. These settings modify the registry directly\r
12 and you have to know what each of these settings is used for and what\r
13 it does. Do not modify these settings unless you are sure you need to\r
14 change them.\r

20 <para>\r
21 The auto-completion list shown in the commit message editor\r
22 displays the names of files listed for commit.\r
23 To also include these names with extensions removed,\r
24 set this value to <literal>true</literal>.\r

32 If you don't want the explorer to update the status overlays\r

42 <para>\r
43 To add a cache tray icon for the TGitCache program, set\r
44 this value to <literal>true</literal>.\r
45 This is really only useful for developers as it allows\r
46 you to terminate the program gracefully.\r

53 <para>\r
54 The extra columns the TortoiseGit adds to the details view\r
55 in Windows Explorer are normally only active in a working\r
56 copy. If you want those to be accessible everywhere, not\r
57 just in working trees, set this value to\r
58 <literal>true</literal>.\r
59 Note that the extra columns are only available in XP.\r
60 Vista and later doesn't support that feature any more.\r

76 <listitem>\r
77 <para>\r
78 TortoiseGit allows you to assign an external diff viewer.\r
79 Most such viewers, however, are not suited for change blaming\r
80 (<xref linkend="tsvn-dug-blame-diffs"/>),\r
81 so you might wish to fall back to TortoiseMerge in this case.\r
82 To do so, set this value to <literal>true</literal>.\r

87 <term condition="pot">FullRowSelect</term>\r
88 <listitem>\r
89 <para>\r
90 The status list control which is used in various dialogs\r
91 (e.g., commit, check-for-modifications, add, revert, ...)\r
92 uses full row selection (i.e., if you select an entry, the\r
93 full row is selected, not just the first column).\r
94 This is fine, but the selected row then also covers the\r
95 background image on the bottom right, which can look ugly.\r
96 To disable full row select, set this value to\r
97 <literal>false</literal>.\r

103 <listitem>\r
104 <para>\r
105 This option toggles the re-adding of unselected added files after a commit. Up to\r
106 TortoiseGit 1.7.10 added files which were not checked on a commit, were removed from\r
107 the index and unversioned after the commit. Set this value to <literal>false</literal>\r
108 to restore the old behavior.\r
109 Set this value to <literal>true</literal> to readd these files again after the commit (default).\r

114 <term condition="pot">ScintillaDirect2D</term>\r
115 <listitem>\r
116 <para>\r
117 This option enables the use of Direct2D accelerated\r
118 drawing in the Scintilla control which is used\r
119 as the edit box in e.g. the commit dialog (also for the attached patch window), the\r
120 unified diff viewer and TortoiseGitBlame.\r
121 With some graphic cards, however, this sometimes\r
122 doesn't work properly so that the cursor to enter\r
123 text isn't always visible, the redraw does not work\r
124 or the background is flashing. It's disabled by default. You\r
125 can turn this feature on by setting this value\r
126 to <literal>true</literal>.\r

134 This can be useful if you use something other than the windows explorer\r
135 or if you get problems with the context menu displaying incorrectly.\r
136 Set this value to <literal>false</literal>\r
137 if you don't want TortoiseGit to show icons for the\r
138 shell context menu items.\r
139 Set this value to <literal>true</literal> to show the icons again.\r

147 If you do not want to have a small background image in list controls (e.g. Commit Dialog)\r
148 set this value to <literal>false</literal>.\r

156 <para>\r
157 This makes TGitCache check file contents if timestamps (to index) missmatch in order to\r
158 calculate the file status.\r
159 TortoiseGit 1.7.0 up to 1.7.12 calculated the file status based on the timestamp only.\r
160 If do not you want TGitCache to check the file contents (this lowers disk access and CPU time), set this value to <literal>false</literal>.\r

168 This makes TortoiseGit to use libgit2 as much as possible (e.g. for\r
169 adding files to the index).\r
170 If you do not want TortoiseGit to use libgit2 for file operations, set this value to <literal>false</literal>.\r
