Ok, makes more sense, but somebody has to do it. > "Recode file" near to "Set encoding" I would have immediately looked there. > It just seems logical from a common user point of view. The `Document` menu is for the document, the thing in memory, not the file on disk. Nothing in the document menu relates to the file, and as I said, we cannot re-code the document in memory. `Reload` is in the `File` menu because it is a file operation. It does not make sense (IMHO) to mix the two concepts, the document and the file. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
