Archive: Decimal Delimiter
Decimal Delimiter
When installer shows space required/space availabe it use "." as decimal delimiter. For instance: "Space required 13.1Mb"
It shows "." regardless of system regional settings.
How can I make it use system's decimal delimiter rather then just "."?
Is it really that big of a deal?
anyways, there is already a bug report about it http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index...49&atid=373085
Our QA team reported it, therefore, I have to investigate.
Thanks! Hope it will be fixed sometimes soon.
You might be able to set the label text yourself, using SectionGetSize to get the size of a section, adding up for each selected section, and rounding that off to megabytes with decimals - with a comma for a decimal - yourself.. if it's something that can't wait for a fix in NSIS itself
Yes, I can change label text and can set whatver value I want. But I would be unable to change decimal delimiter in the number.
Edit: All's well - Here's what I have now...

That is the size in KB.

Keep in mind that using IntOp only works up to 2GB of required space. To be sure your code works for future projects, you might consider using the math plugin:
Math::Script'r1=ff(f($SPACENEEDED)/1048576,17);#***91;r1>999,r1=ff(r1/1024,17)+"GB",r1=r1+"MB"***93;'
I'm not sure if the math plugin uses the system's decimal sign, you might have to replace it in the output string manually.The "required size" output on standard dialog constist of "LABEL" and "NUMBER":
"Required Space" "8.3MB"
Left part can be set as a string. OK.
Right part can be set only as a number. There are no way to change the format of the number. You cannot delete this number from the dialog and only left the label (wich can be edited as shown above).
er? have you tried the above code? That should replace the label and number; which should be the exact same control. Perhaps you're using a different UI, though? my example uses MUI

Thanks. Now I got it. Yes, it works.
However, we decided to defer this issue for now, and wait for NSIS team fix, as it require to many code for such a small issue (we also need to show space available... bla-bla-bla).
fair 'nuff :)
