1.8 RC7 - error in parsing floats
« on: 2013 April 30 12:28:54 »
Juan,
during a very normal process I started ACDNR, checked to preview a mask. When I try to uncheck, the "Invalid character(s) in numeric literal" ecc..error appears, see the attached screenshot.
The error clearly refers to the midtones value, and obviously I acted only on cursors.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 64bit, ITALIAN version; it' s clearly a failure in reading localized numeric strings in numeric fields.
When I change a comma to a dot in a number, the error skips to the next field, but after refresh the previous number returns to the (correct) notation (again with comma) and it's impossible to skip off the error state.
Very urgent, take a look.
Federico

This is extremely weird, to say the least. Somehow the PI Core application's locale has been changed during its execution. In theory this cannot happen. The application selects the C locale upon startup, and it never changes it again.

Are you using any nonstandard module? Does this happen consistently each time you run PixInsight, or has been a sporadic problem?

Logged out - logged in. The error disappear. floats are represented with dots now (as I remember It's always been).
Boh.
I will mail you again if it happens, toghether with the conditions. Perhaps it has to do with the start-stop-restart updating processs?
Thank you and hace a good night
Federico

Juan,
the error repeated frequently. Non continuously, but several time in a session. It's very strange.
