Can't add new ticket, so I put it here, as it seems related.

Search does not work since rev. 1180 (win32, python 2.6.2).

Changing <Q modifiers back to <I in getObject() brings it back, but I don't understand why. The code which used getObject with types.LongType? was really strange before rev.1180 as well. And I can't see this particular branch of code running on when doing a search. A mystery. :) Please look into this.

About the tickets: I'll ask the guy running the site to look into it (I ran into it myself the other day)

Most users pack file length in 8 bytes, some in 4 bytes. The code now first tries 8 bytes, if it fails it tries 4 bytes. Fixed with r1289.

Hi there, I come here for a very noob question. I was looking for a solution for this "pynicotine.slskmessages.FileSearchResult? unpack requires a string argument of length 4" problem I have using Nicotine+ 1.2.12 on Ubuntu 9.10. I saw there is a fix for this issue: r1289. But... what do I do with that? I download it, I guess, and then... unpack in /.nicotine? somewhere else?... Thanks for your help :) cheeres

@roger3000:

You could hack r1289 into your current nicotine+ installation, but I'd suggest you download 1.2.15 and use that instead. Much easier.

On Ubunutu it's really easy:

1. Download the archive labeled "Source"
2. Extract to anywhere (F.E. your desktop)
3. Double click on the file "nicotine.py"

You don't need to uninstall 1.2.12
