It was line endings -- in Editor.py line 276 it checks the preference for autoconversion of line endings. While this must have been enabled by the installer, disabling it yields the desired results for both files created on Windows and Linux, i.e. it will preserve the line endings.
Thanks ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Joyner <[email protected]> Date: Sat, Jan 31, 2009 at 6:23 AM Subject: eric4 open file always 'modified' To: [email protected] Running version eric4-4.2.5(r2785), python 2.5.1, Windows XP editing any file at all (in other words just displaying a file in the editor) causes eric4 to believe that the file has modifications, so it prompts to save, discard, abort every file when closing. If I open file in the editor, make no changes, and then File|Save, no prompt is issued. Just to test a bit I opened eric4.py instead of one of my own files and it behaves the same way. Is this a line ending or 'tabs to spaces' issue? maybe? _______________________________________________ Eric mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/eric
