8.0.2: "Docu Classes > Def. encoding" effectles

Post by AmigoJack »

As we found out in http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?t=13008 no matter which setting you use in Configure > Preferences > Document Classes > * > Document class options > Default encoding, it has no effect. Saving a file with an á as UTF-8 file and then re-opening it won't use the default encoding as set in the Document Class - it will interpret it as ANSI.

This applies to all "real" classes and to "pseudo" classes like "tool output" as well.

It won't even use the explicit encoding! See http://forums.textpad.com/viewtopic.php?p=42846#42846 .

And see:

Issues Resolved:
When files contain only ASCII characters, the document class should have been checked to determine if they should be treated as UTF-8.
