davosian Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The Output settings for the calculator state that the grouping separator will be ignored when copying the result: Quote ... Note that this doesn't affect the the copied answer, which won't be delimited. However, when using the system locale (set to Swiss German in my case), having selected "Show thousands grouping separator", performing a calculation in Alfred and copying the result still copies the separator into the clipboard as well: Settings: see attachment Calculation example: 5 * 365 Result displayed in Alfred: 1'825 (see attachment "calculation") Hitting Cmd-C to copy the result and pasting it into a simple text editor or e-mail results in the exact same formatting: 1'825 My expectation would have been to get 1825 (i.e. no separator) which is useful to use the resulting number in other calculations (e.g. in Excel) Link to comment
Andrew Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 @davosian using cmd+c on the answer will give you the literal result including the separators. If you just action the result (using return), then this won't include the thousands separator. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
davosian Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 You are absolutely correct: "actioning" the result removes the separator, although I am not sure I understand why the behaviour is different from Cmd-C. Thank you, Dennis Link to comment
