Aaron Williams <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #9 from Aaron Williams <[email protected]> --- I must agree. I recently moved to KDE6, and I have to say, KCalc is almost useless for me. I do a lot of low-level software development where I need to work in decimal, hex, and binary, and the old KCalc was great for this. The new one is just horrid. I could live with the drop-down to change modes, but I much preferred the radio buttons. What is unforgivable is that the displayed numbers do not change as they should. If I put in 1024 in decimal and switch to hex, I expect the value to change to 0x400. This is fundamental functionality. Even worse, if I have, say, the value 0xFEDC and change it to decimal, the value just disappears. While it's fine to see the hex, octal, and binary values in real-time, I can't copy/paste them. I also would be happy to disable octal. In the 40+ years I've written software, I have never used octal. It's either hex, decimal, or sometimes binary (in Python). Similarly, if nothing is displayed, I should be able to click on various bits and have the value changed. I'm dealing with 64-bit hardware registers constantly. I've also found that copy/paste is inconsistent. I wish I could go back to the KDE 5 calculator because the new number system mode is absolute garbage. I also miss setting the background color of the upper display section other than grey. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
