Description Tino Schwarze 2006-10-06 07:26:31 UTC 
I'm using LANG=de_DE.utf8 here. If I save a fractal explorer file, the doubles in the saved file get saved in "German style", e.g. "1,000".

I cannot load these files again.

Manually replacing the commas by dots solves the problem.

I checked the ChangeLog up to 2.2.13 and 2.3.12 didn't see it fixed; I didn't compile 2.3.12 myself though.

HTH,

Tino.

The load routine has been ported to use locale-independent routines, but it still saves using the locale-dependent fprintf(). I am sorry, but you will have to convert the files somehow. I have now fixed the save routine.

	* plug-ins/FractalExplorer/Dialogs.c: save files using
	g_ascii_formatd() (fixes bug #360095).
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2006-10-06 08:53:08 UTC 
I've merged that fix into the stable branch as well.

Wow! That was fast. Thank you very much.

Converting the files is no problem.
