Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux KCalc has a feature to group digits by thousands (3 digits). It would be nice to also group binary or hexadecimal digits, probably best to use 4 digits (maybe 8 for binary). Reproducible: Didn't try
Yeah, since the grouping is an optional function that can be disabled I think it's a nice idea. I'll write a patch to add that functionality. For the records: The position of the decimal separator is determined by the active locale. I don't think there are any standards for the position of the binary/hex separator, so I'll set a fixed position of 8 (binary) or 4 (hex). Maybe we should make that an option in the settings on the other hand how many people would use that?
I've committed the patch to the kde reviewboard, where it currently awaits review & approval: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/105427/
patch applied to master branch, once I clean up some things, I'll merge the change with the 4.10 branch so it'll make the next 4.10 release.
The patch introduces new strings, so don't apply to 4.10, unless you asked the i18n people.
Hmm, that's a good point. Unfortunately I did already apply the changes to 4.10. How should I contact the i18n people about getting translations in the works?
Their list is at https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-i18n-doc For more information, see http://i18n.kde.org/
Thanks Michael, just compiled it, it's really helping me.
Glad to hear that, it's my first real patch for a kde app :-) Thanks to Albert and Evan for taking care of it.
