How can I stop qalc from changing units of values less than 1? #519
-
For my purposes it would be very handy if I could make for instance 0.3 m not be stored in a variable as millimeters. I have tried changing the auto conversion to off but to no avail. In most applications I see why this is the functionality but for use in my class it just makes me have to double check that the units didn't change and I have to perform a 'to' operation to get the correct units and I would prefer not to have to do that. |

To disable automatic use of unit prefixes for display of values use the
prefixes
option, e.g. setprefixes off
, or shorterset pref 0
, or as a command line switch-s "pref 0"
.Prefixes are however never stored in variables, but unfortunately always used for display of variable values when using the
list
andinfo
commands. I will change this so that the current status of theprefixes
option will be used. This only applies to variables saved during the current session, not persistent variables after qalc has been restarted.
