Then your extension must be handling the input differently. When data is read in from a text file, using --generic it is not possible with the current code to read in a double. It is called an FG_DOUBLE in some places in the code, but it is converted to a float before it is written to the property tree. The actual line of code in generic.cxx was: _in_message[i].prop->setFloatValue((float)val); ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
