I have a GeoTIFF loaded as a raster layer and have created a new shapefile layer that is currently selected. I installed the NumericalDigitize plugin. I have co-ordinate system EPSG:4326 selected and have changed to co-ordinate display settings to degrees, minutes and seconds. The Coordinate text box says: 34°13′9.2526″, -118°39′23.2166″



I have these co-ordinates to enter with the Numerical Digitize tool:
34°15'5.88"N, 118°37'53.17"W
 34°15'2.20"N, 118°37'32.96"W
 34°14'56.27"N, 118°37'49.81"W
 34°14'55.65"N, 118°37'35.83"W

So when I click the toolbar button for Numerical Digitize and copy and paste that data it says the data is an incorrect format however I don't know why or how to resolve that. So far the other difficulty is that even though the items on each line are separated by a comma they paste into the same cell when I click paste in the numerical digitize window.

How to resolve these issues?
