Bug in photolab 6.1 with decimal value

[alexh]

Hello,

I’ve just installed the 6.1 version and I’ve noticed that I can’t type a decimal value anymore. When there is a dot in any text field then I can’t type any number.

Is it only me or someone else has the same issue ?

I have the French version, maybe an issue with separator dot vs comma ?

Regards,
Alexandre

Hi Alexandre - I don’t have the French version, but try this;

• first select the entire field, and then press Delete … to completely clear the field
• it should now be highlighted in “red” - to indicate that an entry is required

Can you now type in your required number ?

I can only type Integer, can’t put a dot, I can put a comma, but the field goes red, that’s why I thought about the separator that is different between English and French

Quel est le “symbole décimal” par défaut dans les paramètres Windows ?

[alexh]

comma: ,

Good idea, I’ve tried to change this parameter (region => customize format) from comma to dot, and when I relaunch Photolab, it works. It’s definitly linked to decimal separator

Hello

This is a bug and the team is working on fixing it asp

[Franky (Frank Legame - Win 10 - PL7 - FP7 - VP4 - NC6 - Sony α)]

I just tested with v6.1.1 and I still have this problem, the bug is not fixed.

I’ve also tested it, and it’s working now for me.

@Franky

I just tested with v6.1.1 and I still have this problem, the bug is not fixed.

same here – checked with exposure to key in (+) 0,3 and it showed up with 3.00
(numeric keypad as well with the top row numbers)

That is odd. I just entered +0.3, in the Exposure field, hit enter and got .30 as expected. I also tried several other decimals and they were all correct. I additionally tried the Gamma setting and entered decimals there it and also worked correctly.

That is odd. …

rechecked today – the same thing (neither with exposure nor gamma)

Wolfgang,

You are using PhotoLab in 6.1.1 for Windows, correct? If so, I wonder why you’re still having a problem and I am not. I am still on Windows 10 21H2. Are you using Windows 11?

[Wolfgang ([ Win10, PL+VP+FP, Nik6 (+3) ])]

Mark, I have no idea why it’s different. And I never changed something with the numeric keypad. Also tried with the normal “,” (comma) and top row numbers.

@Wolfgang Hello, What is your OS locale and what symbols did you type (comma, dot, numeric or general part of the keyboard)?

[Wolfgang ([ Win10, PL+VP+FP, Nik6 (+3) ])]

Hi Cecile,
the OS is Win 10 Pro 22H2

= with all latest updates

PL6 allows to key in

• from the general part of the keyboard
  numbers and dot, but no comma

• from the numeric part of a ‘big’ standard keyboard
  ( Cherry G81 - 3000 USB / german layout – looks like this )
  numbers only, no comma
  (checked with NumLock ON /OFF)
