jojo: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The problem with changing my favourite codepage is that I want *my own* newly created files to be all UTF-8 without BOM. So maybe a potential fix could be to have two different settings for 1) default encoding to use for newly created files and 2) default encoding to use for reading files with unknown encoding. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to have UTF-8 as default, set it in the program settings / Files or in your project settings. In this case PSpad will automatically create UTF-8 files. But problem is there if your file doesn't contains any accented char, in this case content of the UTF-8 no BOM file is identical as ANSI file. There is no possibility to recognize if your file is UTF-8 or ANSI. If you want to be sure, I suggest to add few accented chard (above #128) into comment. In this case all editors with autodetection will identify your files as UTF-8 even there is no BOM -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,77125,77129> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
