Hi,

man patch says
patch [options] [originalfile [patchfile]]
With "patchfile" being singular i'd expect that it refuses if you give
more than one.
Further it does not look as if you give an "originalfile", which is
demanded by the common []-bracket around "originalfile [patchfile]".
So what file do you want to change by the patch ?
Does ../patches/*.patch evaluate to a single file ?
No, its a directory with many patches. IMO patch should take them, in
their sorted order, until its out of patches. Or do we have a gui to
oversee that, something like kompare maybe? I'll take a look.
(I get that error if i give three dummy file arguments.
If i give two i get a lot of "Hunk ... FAILED at .." because my second
file is no properly formatted patch.
If i give one, the program waits for standard input.)
Have a nice day :)
