All of those suggestions just hinder my workflow I'm afraid. Maybe I should better explain what the most important things for me are here:
- I do not want to be warned everytime I open an ANSI file that it contains invalid UTF-8 codepoint. That just slows down my work. - I do not want the codepage for those legacy ANSI files to be autodetected, as Chinese or Japanese characters don't have the same width as e.g. all characters in Windows-1252. For me it's not a big matter if DOS ANSI characters are not decoded correctly (in my mind I can pretty much map the incorrect characters anyway), but if the formatting of tables breaks because some characters get turned into Chinese glyphs, it's rather annoying. - All of that I want without having to manually reopen a file with a different encoding. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?4,77125,77136> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
