I was delighted to learn that CompPad is being further developed.
I have been using this extension for over 10 years, and I still have LibreOffice Writer version 3.6.7.2 installed on my computer, along with an older version of Java (version 6 or 8). Additionally, I have the latest LibreOffice version 26.2.5.2 running on my Windows 11 system.
Attached, you will find an ODF document created with LibreOffice 3.6, as well as the corresponding PDF. This represents the layout and result I expect.
(For context: the document pertains to a punching shear calculation for a concrete structure according to Eurocode 2.)
However, when I open this file in LibreOffice 26.2.5.2 with CompPad 0.5.03 (Python), I get a completely different result. Please also find the resulting PDF attached for your reference. I think that the command setDecimalSeparator(",") is not recognised.
Can you have a look at it please, and point me ?

Mark, I really appreciate the feedback. I will take a look and try to resolve the issue in the next release.
I uploaded CompPad 0.5.0.4, which has proper support for comma decimal separator, and tested with your document. It seems to evaluate correctly. Please don't hesidate to let me know if you have any more issues or suggestions.
Hello, I downloaded the latest version. 0.5.0.4
And it works. I tested the program also with other files. And everything works. Thank you very much.
