hi,
I’m performing some filtering on my database and I’d like to export the results in a csv file for further processing.
by default the points in the csv file (using ExportView) are rounded to 2 decimals. I do need way more than that (6-10).
I can’t find a way to achieve this though: I ca set the precision in the table on the screen to whatever value I want, but when I export it, ExportView switches back to 2 digits.
Is it possible to change this behavior? I’m using Paraview 5.7.0
Thanks
Fabio

Not possible in ParaView 5.7.0, but it will be possible in ParaView 5.9 and it is currently possible if you build the master branch.
