Your comment on bug #926439 seems to indicate you tried to apply the patch to a version different than the one it was meant to be applied.

I.e. make sure you're using the right version, Alexander said:

   Can you try this patch, please? Apply it to your copy of bzr-explorer 1.2.2

So, are you using 1.2.2 or something else ?

  bzr plugins -v

should tells you which versions of the plugins are used and where they are installed.

double checked my version and yes may explorer is running 1.2.2

i type in 'bzr patch workaround-926439.patch'

and it return an error

The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|=== modified file 'lib/filesystemwatcher.py'
|--- lib/filesystemwatcher.py 2012-02-21 06:40:23 +0000
|+++ lib/filesystemwatcher.py 2012-02-22 05:09:15 +0000
 --------------------------
No file to patch. Skipping patch.
1 out of 1 hunk ignored
bzr: ERROR: Patch application failed

.....so i am not sure if i am patching it correctly, is "bzr patch workaround-926439.patch" correct?
...thanks for the reply btw

Right, so if you have the right version for bzr-explorer, may be you're trying to apply this patch in the wrong directory.

'bzr plugins -v' will tell you were bzr-explorer is installed and that's where you should try to apply the patch.

i.e. 'No file to patch. Skipping patch.' means that 'lib/filesystemwatcher.py' is not found in the directory 'patch' is run.

Thanks Vincent Ladeuil, that solved my question.

i was doing the patching from my working directory, thinking that would be alright as long as bzr command exist.... thanks again vincent
