Different decimal separators in formula tab and table mode #44

Open erikwetterskog opened 2 years ago

erikwetterskog commented 2 years ago

I will post all the things on my wishlist as separate issues. Tell me if you want them together in the future. I work in a science center, and we will start using your excellent software (albeit with some issues) in our classrooms from next semester. So I will likely report more stuff as we discover them.

A very confusing minor issue is that the "formula" and table views uses different decimal separators. In Sweden (and the nordic countries) and Germany, we for some reason use comma (,) as a decimal separator, in contrast to the rest of the world. Alphaplot correctly displays the decimal sepator of the OS in the table view, but needs a dot (.) as a decimal sepator in the formula section. I'm not sure what the comma does when put in the formula, but it still gives a (faulty) value. It took me a while to realize this. Not sure what the best solution is. Our students are used to using comma.

AP-separator

keep the issues separate. That way I can close the issue one by one after fixing.

Looks like the formula tab is not respecting the set locale. will fix it in next version.
