That's curious.
When processing the georef file, we explicitly swap commas with periods and use an en-US culture context for the double-parse in order to ensure there are no culture mismatches.
We'll try to make this a bit more bulletproof.

Be pragmatic, parse it with a Regex and just avoid all the hassle with culture and stuff.
And don't hide any exceptions, at the very least, log then to the Windows Application log so people don't need to hook up a debugger to see the exceptions.
When you are at it, move the cursor to the center after zooming in, so further zooming don't reposition the map again.

There is an option for that.

Stop giving D a hard time. He's sold a lot of games, won a few awards and most of us think the world of him. He's doing a good job and taking on big challenges to give people a great game experience. He doesn't need to put up with this Jr. Programmer childish shit.

There's an option to zoom to the cursor position, but after the initial zoom, the cursor should be moved to the center since it is likely you want to zoom to the point where you initially positioned the cursor, and not the to place on the map where the cursor happen to point after the initial zoom.

You are welcome.
I acknowledge the appreciation after spending several hour trying to find a bug in a software I bought and paid for.

That money bought you the game not the right to abuse our programmer or anybody else with your stupid lectures on what's pragmatic or how to program anything.

Exactly which part of parsing a double with a regex, to avoid OS related culture issues, is stupid?

I'll step in after this craphead builds his own game. Please give him a refund and cancel his membership.

Nothing. Its lecturing and needling another programmer that stupid and annoying. Mostly because you don't have to.
Thanks

So in what way does telling a paying customer he is stupid and annoying, after he spent several hours debugging your software, help solving the problem?
And is this something you have to do?

Article 56, paragraph 27 of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Code:
When a customer is being a dink, proprietor is allowed to respond aggressively and with prejudice.

I don't mind helping out, especially since I know the frustration you feel when you can't reproduce a problem.
I do mind being intentionally insulted and told I'm stupid and annoying when spending time working together with you to solve a problem in your software.
And on top of that thewood1 comes in from nowhere and joins the insulting while being supported by a moderator.
