Unable to convert "14,800000" to number
I get this error when I use the filter effect drop-shaddow using the dx, dy spin-control.
g_ascii_strtod does not convert correctly.
reding src/fixes.cpp it states: /* * until 2004-04-22, g_ascii_strtod could not handle having a locale-based * decimal separator immediately following the number ("5,4" would * parse to "5,4" instead of "5.0" in fr_FR) * * This is the corrected function, lifted from 1.107 gstrfuncs.c in glib */
So the question is: how to convert strtod locale independent?

The real question here is why g_ascii_strtod is used at all, because it should only be used for numbers pulled from datafiles etc. that are not meant for user consumption. For localized numbers, one should use g_strtod or strtod.

And that's the key.
For some uses, Inkscape is operating on SVG numbers which are not localized. For other uses it is operating on user-visible numbers that *are* localized.
So that's why it's used at all.
As to why there's a problem here, it is most likely either a problem of inappropriate copy-n-paste, or of a single bit of code that doesn't realize it needs to operate on both user-input and SVG abstract strings.

I know that :) I only referred to the fact that an incorrect function is used in this specific case, not that strtod should be used everywhere.

ok.
I think it comes somewhere where the parameters are exported from the filter dialog. But I did not found the source and where it reads the number from the spin-button and forward to atod-function.
Any hint where I can start?
Thx, Adib. ---
