Found some very odd conversions, couldn't find any info about it online #118

m-hrstv commented 5 months ago

So just a general question, i was trying to convert 28M seconds to days last night, and typed 'in' instead of 'to', and got a very curious and funny result - it tried(and succeeded, somehow!) to convert second-inch-days to kg/nPa. Works with all kinds of other conversions too, for instance you can convert meters to calories, somehow. Is that some sort of bug or is it intended and if so - what is the logic behind it? Thank you in advance. 11

All of the strings are put into libqalculate. There is no math logic on our side.

Alright, thank you, i'll have to look into it to satisfy my curiosity then :D

You can also always just use the command line tool qalc. It will give you exactly the same output as rofi. :)
