Hi all,
I have the same problem.

I quit IDLDE and tried again.
Both with IDLDE and command line I find everything correct at the beginning:

IDL> PRINT,FLOAT('2.41e12'),' 2.41e12'
2.41000e+012 2.41e12

but after the dialog_pickfile() it changes from floating-point to "floating-comma"

IDL> files=DIALOG_PICKFILE()
IDL> PRINT,FLOAT('2.43e12'),' 2.43e12'
2,00000 2.43e12

How can I fix it?
Is there a system variable to set for the floating-POINT?

Anyway no problem if I call DIALOG_PICKFILE(/directory), instead.

regards,
Sara

How can I fix it?
