Format numeric values in status bar to add thousand dots

Elektro · 2014-06-07 18:09

I've noted that if the user adds a +1.000 amount of files the numeric value is not formatted then its not easier to read the amount.

I know this is a very very minor issue and could be not never taken in consideration, but as a Pro of this suggestion it should be a very very easy thing to implement just in minutes.

I don't know nothing about Delphi but I've Googled it a little (just trying to help here and to give something more than words about suggestions) and seems that the FloatToStrF method is the way to go as it's explained here with usefull examples.

Thanks for read!

You need to explain a little bit more, and may be an example. PascalScript rule already has a similar function (you can search on the wiki). And for the serialize rule there is an option for padding. Is any of these what you were talking about?

Thanks for your interest, but isn't that, it's an in-design issue related to a label control, what I mean is the label that displays a numeric value with the amount of files that are added, this label is inside the "status bar" that is at the bottom of the program, here is an image of what I'm talking about:

Then I just suggest that the value need to be formatted with dots to be easier to read and to be a proper value.

PS: Sorry for my English

Implemented in ReNamer 5.75.7 Beta.

Also, "TB" (Tera byte) file size abbreviation has been added.

Denis, just wanted to know is the separator localized? What I mean is some countries use commas and some use dots (and I think some even use spaces), so will ReNamer display the thousands separator according to the user's current system locale?

hmmm... that's true, here is a couple of differences between languages: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806 … index.html

Just my opinion: I think there is no need to retouch that, just using a comma or a dot will be easier to read and to understand by everyone from everywhere.

Not a big deal (personally I would prefer a comma) but I just wanted to know about localization, because file size abbreviations are already localizable now.

Ideally speaking of course the program would pick up all relevant number, grouping symbol, list separator, date, time etc. formats from the current system settings:

ReNamer uses system date/time and number formatting in places like status bar and dates in files table.
