> SUMMARY
> When importing an ASCII file (csv file), the type of the column seems to be
> based only on the first 11 rows of data. So, if the data is an integer in
> the 11 first rows, all the data in this colum will be converted in integer,
> even though they are floating point. Floating point values are then
> converted to 0.
> So if in a column we have eleven values of 3 and one of 3.1 at the 12th
> position, we get some 3 and one 0 after the import
We addressed this problem in the next release 2.12. The logic for the
auto-detection of the data types treats integer values as floats (this behavior
can be controlled via a new option in the import dialog) and it is also
possible to specify the data types explicitly for every column and to overwrite
what was detected automatically. I attached a screenshot for how it's going to
look like in 2.12.
We're finalizing the remaining tasks for 2.12 now and we'll release soon. You
can also give the current development version a try, it's available on our
homepage in the download section.
