[Solved] Thousand separator from regional settings or custom

AlterMind · Post by *AlterMind » 2016-07-17, 18:37 UTC

Hi,

In my TC views the file size is displayed with the comma ',' as thousand separator, while in my regional settings it is set to be the decimal point.

Can you please consider using the computer regional settings to display the thousand separator, or if not allow the user to specify this manually ?

Thanks to consider this possibility!

Cheers,

AlterMind

Did you read this: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=34734&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=thousand+separator

1. In control panel, regional and language settings, set a DIFFERENT separator than you want, e.g. a ":"
2. Click on "Apply"
3. Now change it to the separator you want
4. Click on "Apply" again

I searched for infos on the forum but found nothing approaching.

Thanks a million for you pointing at that solution, it worked marvellously!
I actually I found out that the same issue had appeared on my two other PCs and then I understood that the culprit was with the Windows 10 Insider Program update for the Anniversary release (version 1067, build 14388) which was deployed on my PCs last night, screwing up actually my regional settings (I'm using English language but European-style number formatting, which were all reset/overwritten).

Thanks again Ennovy for your prompt and right spot-on answer (and solution) !

AlterMind,
Thanks for trying, but none such here.

You may just edit your first post and add a [Solved] to the title ...

Well, I've been looking for that option but I don't see any edit button associated with my original post... :-/ Any hint please ?

Update: how odd! Once I posted this quoted reply, all my former messages suddenly featured an "edit" button, allowing me to update my original post as you suggested, thanks
