Re: [Orgmode] Org Mobile Setting and file encoding
Hi Joost, Thanks a lot, this helps, after I convert all the org files I have, then try Mobile org again, all the files could be decoded in MobileOrg now.

The cause of your problem can be many things: - the file is incorrectly recognised as encrypted - the file is incorrectly recognised as not-encrypted - the encoding is not utf-8 and there are offending bytes - the parsing of the index file fails somehow To make sure utf-8 is all you do, evaluate (in .emacs e.g.): (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) Furthermore, make sure you try everything not encrypted. Also, this helped with me, don't run the latest git org-mode against production release mobileorg. Somehow my mobileorg on iphone failed on the first lines of the index file. mobileorg on Android didn't fail however. Good luck!

So how could I figure out what the file encoding of my org files, and if not, how to convert them (there's quite a bit) to UTF-8, and in the future how to save the files automatically to UTF-8 with the Chinese support?

Chao, whenever mobileorg fails loading the file and converting it into an UTF8 string, the error message about encoding is presented. The cause of your problem can be many things: - the file is incorrectly recognised as encrypted - the file is incorrectly recognised as not-encrypted - the encoding is not utf-8 and there are offending bytes - the parsing of the index file fails somehow To make sure utf-8 is all you do, evaluate (in .emacs e.g.): (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8) Furthermore, make sure you try everything not encrypted.
