FormatNumber() removes zeros from decimals
« on: December 15, 2017, 06:46:12 pm »

If I use FormatNumber() to specify a number of decimal places, it will remove zeros.
Instead of a list formatted to two decimal places like:

1.23 dB
4.00 dB
5.60 dB

Media Center displays:

1.23 dB
4 dB
5.6 dB

Which can be awkward to read.

Try adding

&datatype=[number]

and see if it changes anything

Doesn't seem to do anything.

Try [string] instead, maybe it will hold the rounded number

Still nothing.
I think it's an issue with FormatNumber()

That's just how it currently works.

But for the next build, we'll try this:
Changed: FormatNumber(...) allows trailing zeroes on decimals (previously it would crop them).
