Re: [SOLVED] dwm enable one layout per tag

.diff files are just comparison between the two versions of the file, and you apply the diff file using the following command:

patch -p1 < /path/to/patch.diff

So the patch.diff file can be anywhere. If the patch fails, then you can manually open patch.diff with your favourite editor and go through the code one line at the time (it's not difficult as it may seem). If you are using DWM 5.8.2, then I would apply nmaster-sym made for version 5.8.2. I don't think the patch will work if it's meant for version 4.

I hope I answered your questions.

I believe not too, but we will not know because the diff to use in pertag nmaster is not even online uu '

per hour will try to read more and resolve the source without migrating to another fork
