Compatibility

Windows and Mac

1. The selected locale affects various aspects of Easy Data Transform, such as how dates and numbers are interpreted. Previously the locale was set at the application level. It is now set at the document (.transform) level.

When you File>Open a .transform file, the locale will switch to the locale of that .transform file. This is a change of behaviour that could affect the output of existing .transform file.

The locale set in Preferences is now the Default locale. This is the locale that will be used for newly created .transform files.

You can change the locale of the current .transform by selecting Edit>Locale… from the main menu or clicking the new Locale button in the status bar. The locale of the current .transform is shown in the status bar.

This will show the Locale window.

Select the locale you want and click OK.

Save the .transform file to save the change of locale.

You will be warned each time opening a .transform file changes the locale, unless you uncheck warn on locale change in Preferences>General.

2. A new Difference transform has been added. It can compare 2 datasets by Row numbers:

Or by Key columns.

Set Max differences to the maximum number of differences to output.

Note that columns are compared by column number (index), not by column name.

Thanks to @N8AKTIV for ideas on the output format.

3. In Preferences you can now set the padding used in data tables for the default row height (the number of pixels of padding above and below text). Thanks to Scott H. for the suggestion.

4. You can now vary the thickness of connections for Custom color schemes in the Colors tab of the Preferences window.

5. The order in which items were executed was not always consistent between the main interface and batch mode. This is now fixed. Thanks to Olaf for reporting this.
