There's another issue on the tracker that's pretty much the same thing.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
When using the Calculator/Unit Conversion plugins in PowerToys Run, a very small number can end up not showing enough numbers for the result to be accurate, and can sometimes even be misleading.
Here's an example:
This image makes it look like 1 gram is actually equal to 0 megatonnes period, instead of a very small fraction of a megatonne.
.
Ideally, very small results would always display 0.00000.... something. It DOES cutoff the digits sometimes like here:
But it would be nice to have the option in the Calculator/Unit Conversion plugins to set how many digits should be displayed before cutting off the result.
Scenario when this would be used?
I often deal with small numbers, so this can be a problem for my calculations/unit conversions when using PowerToys Run
