Please add a feature to disable overlay icons of the owncloud client.

I don’t get it. What is the real world problem you’re trying to solve? Maybe you can elaborate on your use case.

NiklasVoigt commented 3 years ago

This is a feature request. Every synced file gets an overlay icon. Some People dont want that. A way to disable the Overlay Icons is delete the keys using regedit (Windows) from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers but after you update the client you have to do this. Very annoying.

An option to turn on/off in the Settings of the Client to disable the Icons in the Explorer would be a nice feature!

@NiklasVoigt 2.7 desktop client on Win10 no longer use overlay icons. It uses the Explorer native Status column. (check screenshot in https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/7747)

Does this already solve your problem?

Oh yes this is a great Feature! This solves the Problem.
