Override the decimal separator #126

Open dhover opened 2 years ago

I saw you added the possibility to override the default date separator. An idea came to me which has always been an obstacle for me. I am living in the Netherlands and I want to use the Dutch (NL) culture with CumulusMX. But changing the culture to Dutch (NL) with CumulusMX also changes the decimal separator to a comma. I don't want to use a comma as a decimal separator but instead the decimal dot because in the logfiles I want dot's no comma's. I tried to change the culture settings of the host os. On a Windows OS this works fine but that doesn't work with CumulusMX on Linux. It should be a nice feature to also override the decimal separator in CumulusMX.

There are plans afoot to change the log files to use a standard format which would mean things like the field separator and decimal would be fixed for all users to say comma and dot.

That is even a better solution. One could easier change the culture/separators without the need to change the log files. If I can help please let me know.
