Hi, today I added the setlocale() calls into all "FileOpen" and "FileSave" type functions in all CVS branches. It works the way Jean suggested, by getting first the current numeric locale, changing it into "C", and finally changing it back to original setting. It seems to work in my system where locale is "C" ; unfortunately I don't know how to change it so it still needs testing. The change is not yet applied in file import/export functions, only in file open/save ones. Regards, Tommi
