Encrypted File Problem

[Brendan Coupe]

Thomas,

I just got around to trying the patch that you sent. I have not been
able to get the patch to work. I run the command "git apply PatchName"
as part of the scripts that I run to compile and install KMM. The
scripts have worked in the past.

The first time I ran it the error was:

error: libkgpgfile/kgpgfile.cpp: No such file or directory
error: libkgpgfile/kgpgfile.h: No such file or directory

So I modified the patch file with the full path to the files that it
patches. That changed the error to this:

error: patch failed: kmymoney/plugins/xml/libkgpgfile/kgpgfile.cpp:33
error: kmymoney/plugins/xml/libkgpgfile/kgpgfile.cpp: patch does not apply
error: patch failed: kmymoney/plugins/xml/libkgpgfile/kgpgfile.h:73
error: kmymoney/plugins/xml/libkgpgfile/kgpgfile.h: patch does not apply

I'm not an expert but the files seem to match the patch files based on
the line numbers so I'm not sure why it's not working.
