copy/paste with local format of number

Post by pao »

Is it possible to tell jamovi, that in my system locale is pl_PL.UTF-8 with "," as decimal point? Now after copy/paste tables by clipboard the "." in the numbers disappears in Apple iWork applications, and tables become messy.

And for what are extra columns? It is only macOS problem? I could remove them but it is extra work to do.

Kind regards

hi pawel,

yes, i think that's something we need to think about.

thanks for bringing it up.

(at a guess, the extra columns are from pasting something like 123,00 which is interpreted as two values 123 and 00, so it creates an extra column for the 00?)

After setting "." as decimal numbers is the same: upper table in jamovi, bottom in Apple Pages
