No,you're completly wrong... the problem was explained a few times over IRC and discussed many times with the Tcl team... Tcl only supports the locale LC_ALL="C" because they use the strtod() function in their code, but some locals have a comma as separator instead of a dot... so in the Init proc of Tcl and Tk, there is a call to setlocale(LC_ALL, "C"); this makes the locale used compliant with tcl/tk ... now the problem is that sometimes, some people have their locale modified inside the Tcl/Tk environment without reason... it is suspected to be a dll/driver that gets loaded or a Win32 API function that gets called which resets the locale to the system's locale... The Tcl team suspected an HP printer driver.. but it turned out to be coming from somewhere else... now with this, it seems it's coming from the GetOpenFileName Win32 API call (open file dialog) which seems to reset the locale... I couldn't test this, I discussed it with the Tcl team and we should provide them with a working test app which shows the bug clearly (so far, noone has been able to reproduce it or find the source of the problem), then see if the patch I provided them with, fixes it (the patch is an #include <locale.h> and a setlocale(LC_ALL, "C"); after the GetOpenFileName calls in tkWinDialog.c ... Sander was supposed to test this... as he has a dutch version of Windows... this is where it's hanging.. reproduce/test/fix/submit to tk team...
