--- Comment #8 from libre...@resiak.org ---
The state of how applications handle UTF-8 is a mess: some look for the BOM,
some treat it as noise and ignore it, some require it for reading files but
omit it on writing them, some treat it as an error and fail, and many don't
even know that UTF-8 exists. I have no simple global solution to propose for
this, but I do think LO itself should be consistent, and that the rules should
be in the documentation and easy to find. It's not exactly obvious to have to
click "Save filter settings"; and the process is clumsy for someone like me who
has to do it almost every time.
I'd like to see an option -- global or per LO component -- to set a writing
mode for plain text formats, if necessary even per nominal file type (.txt,
.dif, .slk, .csv):
Coding (UTF-8, UTF-16, Windows blahblah, Mac blahblah, Linux blahblah)
If UTF, then with or without BOM
And let me set my own defaults.
