Patch Maker 1.2l bug

[nickpap]

I've recently encoutered a bug that seems to affect even the latest version (1.2l) of PatchMaker.

Say you have a patch project that updates v1.0 and v1.1 to v1.2 and it contains a file which has been set to have these attributes (nNa):

If installed : Ignore
If not installed : Ignore
If unknown version : Ask for source

In v1.3, this file has to have the following attributes (nie):

If installed : Ignore
If not installed : Install

In order to make the project update v1.2 to v1.3 also, I must add its directory to the list of directories containing old versions to update.

If I do this, the program seems to figure out on its own (from the files contained in all the folders) that the correct attributes for my file should be the latter and that is what it shows in the right hand side panel controls when I click on it.

The bug is that it does not apply them correctly ! In the list column Options, the attributes still appear as nNa instead of nie and when I run the patch against a v1.2 installation, it reports an unknown version and requests the source file, when I would expect it to have included the v1.3 file in the patch.

Hope this gives enough info to reproduce the issue.

I don't see very well what you mean. Could you send me a little example file with only the mentioned file in the 3 or 4 source directories (i.e. remove all the other files) and your .uts file? Thanks!
