CSV datasheet import - decimal separators

[Izildur <jochbeck yahoo com>]

Hi there

Im having some trouble importing data from csv sheets to gnumeric (version
1.7.12 latet windows version).
the problem are the decimal separators: the program that generates the csv
sheets uses . (e.g. 0.1234) while gnumeric uses , (0,1234) to be able to
calculate with it. if i select the respective columns in the import wizard
and select "format: numbers" gnumeric either does not recognize them as
numbers or it will use only the digits following the decimal separator
(1234). if i format these cells as text they are imported as they are:
0.1234. then i thought ok, i could just search all "." and replace them with
"," and it should work. well gnumeric is changing all . to , but if i then
format the cells as numbers it will not work because gnumeric marks all the
cells with ' (this is only displayed when a single cell is seleceted) and
the cells are consequently not recognized as numbers. 
do you have any ideas what i am doing wrong? this HAS to work (excel and
calc can do it, but is annoying to copy all the data beween several
programs).
