MHX: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At first I'd like to say thanks for this fine editor.
Then I have a suggestion evolved from an idea that I got from EmEditor: It'd be nice to have a combo box in the save dialogue to choose the file encoding. (Not too important.) In format menu there are seven encoding possibilities, is there a way to add some more? (Not too important.) What I miss is the ability to save in the original encoding regarding UTF8 with/without BOM. Sometimes I open a file in UTF8 without BOM and I need to add BOM, sometimes it should be left as it was (in this case without BOM). But I can just choose Format / UTF8 -- but I cannot choose with/without BOM. And I really miss a visible indicator in the status bar whether the UTF8 is with or without BOM -- I have to switch to hex view... So I like to have in Format menu two UTF8 entries. Possible bug in version 2356: In hex view UTF-16 LE and UTF-16 BE are displayed identically and not as the bytes really are and as I think it should be displayed. I create a new text file, choose UTF-16 LE, save it. Then I choose UTF-16 BE and save as a second file. In hex view both files look absolutely identical, but using comp on command line or using another hex editor, it is obvious that the two files are different. Thank you and best wishes Michael -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I agree, that the support for more encodings would be nice, it is probably planned somehow, but I don't know the actual status. Encoding selection in saving (and maybe opening?) dialog would be useful for me too. You can turn the ident. bytes on/off in the Settings :: Program (part 2); but it is not that suitable for frequent switching. As for the hex viewer, if you switch an opened text file to hex, you see an already normalized version; you could open the file directly in hex to get the authentic data. vbr -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,51841,51847> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
