I noticed that Export to CSV uses the semicolon as the field separator. I
understand this is the standard in parts (all?) of Europe, but isn't the
standard in the US. This patch asks the Locale and tries to use the most
approriate format.

CSV is an ill defined spec.

Hi Chris, for one reason or another, I cannot read the attached patch...
:-(

But your suggestion makes absolutely sense. I know changed the code to

private static final char SEPARATOR = new
DecimalFormatSymbols().getDecimalSeparator() == ',' ? ';' : ':';

I read that countries using the comma as decimal point are the ones that
use the semicolon as separator char.

Is this in line with the patch you suggest?

Andreas.

And, yes, it must read:

private static final char SEPARATOR = new
DecimalFormatSymbols().getDecimalSeparator() == ',' ? ';' : ',';
