Yes. I have product X which costs, lets say 1,10 mk. I want to order 2,5
units of it.

This works fine if catalog isn't reconfiguration yet. But if I
reconfigure it (running $VENDROOT/bin/minivend
--reconfigure=catalog_name) Minivend starts to think one item product X
costs 1,00 mk and I want to order 2 units of it. This prevents me
reconfiguring catalogs and users of other catalogs will have to wait
restarting Minivend.

Sorry, I didn't know, just thought that because last replier put that
locale thing here.

I tried but without success. And there probably should be also line
"Locale de_DE decimal_point ," if I understood right? If I put e. g. 1,1
to item's quantity field and say Minivend to recalculate basket items it
goes on to error page and displays error message "'1,1' for item 14 is
not numeric".

Reconfiguring still breaks things. Does price/quantity calculation still
work correctly if you reconfigure your catalog?

BTW what kind of database are you using? I have PostgreSQL products
database and all fields are type text.
