0000854: MEGAX-v10.0.04
I just installed the new version, MEGA-X, 64-bit Windows version.
It is impossible to align the sequences by ClustalW under standard conditions.
I didn“t find the valid format of numbers while deciding ClustalW options, i.e. system is working with the full number (for example 6) but not with decimal (6.66).

The SW is primarily working in country-specific format (taken from Windows) so the all numbers should be re-writen to English format (i.e. 6,66 in Czech but 6.66 in English). This problem never hapenned in the version 7 or older ones (Mega was reflecting specific conditions of Czech operation system) .

SW is returning error message (in attachment) and after it is frozen, it is not possible to continue work or (at least) correctly close Alignment Explorer.

Detailed steps:
1) Edit/build alignment
2) retrieve sequences from file (fasta or mas)
3) align by ClustalW
4) Clustal options (all numbers are "black" - valid)
Error
No tags attached.

Hi Dana,

I am writing in response to the bug report you recently reported regarding the MEGA software. It looks like the issue you encountered is a problem with MEGA X not working well with non-English decimal separator. Would you mind downloading and trying out a new build of MEGA X that will force the use of the dot character for the decimal separator. This new build can be downloaded from:

http://www.megasoftware.net/releases/MEGA_X_10.0.4_win64_setup_180801.exe [^]

Please let me know if this resolves the issue.

Hi Glen,
ye, it seems that the problem with non-English decimal separator is solved. Mega is working in this version as I'm used to.
Thanks.

with regards,
 Dana
