I have updated my nigthly to the latest 4564 from 4530 (windows XP). In the past I always used the ISO-8859-1 encoding (the default in Settings->editor->default encoding) in all my projects.
Now all my files are reported as Windows-1252 (that is not the same). Ok it's a minor issue but I think is related to
4563 / biplab 2 days * Cleaned up conversion routine to take advantage of latest FileManager code.
* Added: Support to use user-specified encoding if auto detection & conversion fails.
Reinstalling the 4530 the encoding seems correctly reported.
That has been added to encoding conversion fallback code. The code works as follows.
1) When a file is opened
EncodingDetector tries to detect encoding (UTF-8/16/32).
2) If
EncodingDetector fails to detect
UTF-* encoding, it sets the encoding to System default (on Windows it's Windows-1252).
3) It then passes the information to conversion routine. If conversion routine fails, it tries to use
User-specified encoding as a last resort.
In your case step 3 works with System-default encoding. Thus your specified encoding is never used.
But I think I should set the step 2 to use the user-specified encoding.
