Re: [DQSD-Users] respect comma and period localization
Hi Stephen, But i have a small issue. Here in Denmark where i live we dont use the . (dot) as decimal marker, rather we use the , (comma). ... Is there anyway that i can configure this to work right in DQSD? Can you be a bit more specific about where this is a problem? What searches are you using that are being misinterpreted? Can you provide a couple examples? Regards, Shawn K. Hall http://12PointDesign.com/ - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [DQSD-Users] respect comma and period localization
Hi Stephen, But i have a small issue. Here in Denmark where i live we dont use the . (dot) as decimal marker, rather we use the , (comma). In most programs this switch is seamless, but in some including DQSD, we have to use the wrong way to write a number: On my system this is wrong: 29.55 on my system this is right: 29,55 Now my question. Is there anyway that i can configure this to work right in DQSD? Is there anyway that someone can make the installer detect this localization? It's the same here in Sweden. You see, what you're entering into the search bar (provided you mean when you use it as a calculator) is actually JavaScript code. If you type: 25 + 9 / 3 * 3.14 the search bar responds with 34.42 As this is just a JavaScript expression and JavaScript always expresses floating point numbers in a locale-invariant manner, there's no built-in facility for localized numerics. Then again, I guess we could preprocess every numeric expression replacing decimal separator of your choice with . before evaluating the expression. To me it just seems counter-intuitive, but maybe that's because I know what it does, so I expect the locale-invariant behavior. - Kim - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [DQSD-Users] respect comma and period localization
Yes its only when i use it as a calculator... When i do have to use it as a calculator, it usually has to work fast and, with allot typing in different numbers. When i hit the key below number 3 on the numeric keyboard, i get a comma and not a period... to get a period i have to go to the main part on the keyboard... like i said, just a little issue, thats a little annoying. Anything that can be done? excuse me... but i have seen it before in a very few pieces of software, and to me it just seems to be lazy design/programming. (sorry) Again, i don't know anything about javacode, or other types of programming, but i love little genius software like DQSD.

Re: [DQSD-Users] respect comma and period localization
Stephen, I don't think it was laziness on Dave's part - I'll blame Dave ;) - just an oversight. And, I'm a bit surprised that we haven't had a request for this change before (that I know of). I took a quick look at the changes required to do a replacement like Kim suggested would be more involved than I thought it would be (see calculate.js:mathexp). Unfortunately, I don't see a change being implemented to handle this. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Møller Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 4:24 PM To: DQSD users mailing list Subject: Re: [DQSD-Users] respect comma and period localization Yes its only when i use it as a calculator...
