Description Frederic Parrenin 2003-09-26 20:38:03 UTC 
Hi all,
I use gnumeric with french locales. Thus, decimal separator is ",".
When exporting to a text file, I have set the caracter encoding to "english
ASCII", expecting that the "," would be translated in "." (as it is the
case when we import a text file). But the "," are unchanged.

Thanks for your wonderful software !

When you import a text file you have the choice to specify a character
encoding and on the format tab of the importer also the choice of a
source locale. The former only addresses the encoding, the latter
affects such things as decimal separator.

On text export you only have a choice with respect to the character
encoding but not with respect to the locale. So your request is really
that we add a locale selector to the text export.

I am changing the title and severity accordingly.
Comment 2 Frederic Parrenin 2003-09-27 16:02:38 UTC 
OK, I was wrong: it was the local setting, and not the encoding.
Sorry for this approximate bug report...
And thanks for your quick answer !

Request still valid for 1.6.3.
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2006-04-15 21:28:54 UTC 
Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.

There's actually no need to "ping" us unless something new comes up.
