Sebastien, Yes, you are right, if the user know the encoding of the file, they can open it with gedit. But not all of them know what's the encoding, so automatic detect mode is the most user case.
Gedit has a auto detect sequence recorded in gconf, the correct value is [CURRENT,GB18030,GBK,GB2312,UTF-6,UTF-16], you can try this configration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/819714 Title: Can not display GB2312/GB18030 encoded chinese files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/819714/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
