Every time I try to install a helper, Docky crashes

[Louis Taylor]

Without fail, Docky crashes whenever I try to install a helper from a .tar archive.
The helper I was trying to install was a cloned open_terminal_here helper.
I copied '/usr/share/docky/helpers/open_terminal_here.py' and '/usr/share/docky/helpers/metadata/open_terminal_here.py.info' into the directory '/home/louis/Dropbox/helper_scripts/new', I then compressed this using the gnome compress utility.
I uploaded it here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3746044/new.tar

I am running Docky version: 2.1.0 bzr docky r1384 ppa, on ubuntu 10.4.
Mono is version 2.4.4 (Debian 2.4.4~svn151842-1ubuntu4)

The exception is:

Hi, just tested this on Docky version 2.1.0 bzr r1300, and this problem does not happen.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

First of all, your tar file is wrong. The script and metadata directory should be at the 'top level' of the tar, not under a sub-directory.

[Robert Dyer (psybers)]

Fixed in rev 1394.

yay! Thank you
