I think there is a the bug in Ignition tag export/import routine (v7.6.6):  
I’m from Europe (Slovenia) and we have a comma (,) for decimal separator and dot (.) for thousands. (set in Windows Regional settings)  
When you do tag export, there is always 1.0 (instead of 1,0) in xml file. When you do import the same file, you get 10. If the change is made by hand in xml file from 1.0 to 1,0 it’ll import correctly.  
So I guess export doesn’t care about regional settings, but import does.

Thanks for the report. As I said in the other thread, I’ve replicated this and filed a bug ticket.

Ok. I didn’t see the ‘other’ thread… 🙂

EDIT: Ah, you mean ‘that’ thread… where I said, that this is still present in v7.6.6… 🙂
