Description Clément Stenac 2005-07-19 17:49:50 UTC 
Although decimal output features digit grouping, other bases don't, which makes
it quite hard to read, especially for binary.

Grouping binary by quartet and hexa by byte would be really useful (it might be
user-configurable)

The digits grouping is really a decimal base "thousands" separator
and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

What I'd really like to implement is the bit calculating extension
in bug #157961. The latest version of the calculator in Mac OS X
(Tiger) has this for the Programmer View, and it's very nice. 

The only thing that's preventing this is how to handle it in
arithmetic operator precedence mode where there is an expression
being built up in the display area. The Mac calculator doesn't have
this problem because it only ever displays the latest number being
entered (and it correctly does arithmetic operator precedence).

If anybody has any idea how to implement the bit calculation display
for arithmetic operator precedence mode with our current setup, please
let me know.

Closing this as a duplicate of bug #157961. The bit panel
has been added to gcalctool for non-arithmetic operator
precedence mode. Sami will hopefully implement the equivalent
for arithmetic operator precedence mode.
