It happens again and again that I make website files unusable by just a quick change with PSPad instead of starting the big VisualStudio and do the small change there. It is because I work with UTF8 all the time, but for websites sometimes it is essential that there's the ident. bytes (BOM) in the file (*.aspx and *.aspx.vb) - without the IIS web server says compiler error when calling the website - and for other files (*.php) it is essential that the file itself is UTF8, too, but without the BOM, otherwise you have problems when doing includes or with additional spaces or paragraphs at the beginning on the website. So for me the option in the program settings "insert ident. bytes for UTF8" is not good, because when set, it always adds the BOM and when unchecked it removes it. I need an option "leave the BOM as it is". And of course in the status bar it would be nice to see if the file is UTF-8 with or without BOM. An option in the save dialogue to save as "UTF-8 (BOM)" or as "UTF-8 (no BOM)" (regardless of the program setting) would be the the cherry on the icing. :)
Hope I don't bother you with this wish, it's not meant as a demand, but as a wish for helping me. - Michael -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?6,52581,52758> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
