Another minor Prime hexagesimal issue
Message #1 Posted by Jonathan Cameron on 8 Nov 2013, 2:22 p.m.

If I go to Home and type in a DMS number using the [o'"] (hexagesimal) key (Shift [ab/c]):

   34(o)45(')5  [ENTER]
It displays just like that (no zero-padding for the trailing 5). Then if I press the [o'"] key to switch to the decimal representation, nothing happens.

Apparently the DMS number has to have 2 digits in each field for the conversion to work.

If you try entering it as 34(o)45'05, it suppresses the '0' and the same problem results.

Thanks

P.S. The Prime is very cool and I'm looking forward to new updates to iron out some of these minor issues!

It also doesn't display the seconds(") symbol at the end.
