Hello,

Yes, i understand the annoyance.
The problem is that we didn't hard-code the comma into the code, but the
comma sneeks in as the platform's decimal separator symbol via some locale
settings on your system (you wouldnt have that problem on an english
language environment, for example, where the decimal separator is '.').
I still don't know what system setting exactly is responsible.

@ethereal-dev:
There's another related problem, which i mentioned some time ago:
Float columns are not sorted properly, on systems with a comma as decimal
separator, as apparently atof() expects a comma, while g_snprintf generates
a dot.
Well, on my system that is! In fact this is kind of the opposite behaviour
of what Alois Hellmaier experiences, since i don't have the comma in the
output (although i have a French Windows XP install).
Alois, i think the float values in the column dialog box are comma-separated
on your system, right?
Does the sorting work for those columns?
Could you report us your Windows region/language settings, please?

Anyway, there seems to be a problem with localization issues between glib
and the c-stdlib, at least on Win32.
As i'm not at all familar with these locale/internationalization issues, i
would be glad if others could make comments on how to solve this problem.
