"". I would not advise such a feature: finding the right encoding is often a guesswork. For instance there are few differences between iso8859-1 and iso8859-15, mostly char A4 is ¤ in the former and € in the latter }}} {{{#!text dod, thanks for the clarification }}} {{{#!text padre does it wrong I would submit a bug report, but trac is gone so listen, and put it in the tracker yourself when it reappears }}} {{{#!text daxim, go ahead, I will add to my local trac }}} {{{#!text in the open dialog, there is no facility for selecting the encoding, because you use a shitty toolkit (Gtk) that doesn't even have that basic feature KDE text editors do it correctly: after the field for the file name, you can select the encoding name in the open/save standard dialog }}} {{{#!text daxim, is this a gtk thing or a Scintilla issue so what? will you punt every bug resulting from the choice of toolkit? }}} {{{#!text daxim, i am interested in understanding the issue, you obviously have a greater knowledge on this subject than I do, more info please okay, I'll prepare a screenshot cool }}}" defect new major editor 0.96 encoding bowtie daxim dod
