8 years ago FWIW, Sublime Text currently goes with Reopen with encoding ->
- UTF-8
- UTF-16 Little Endian
- UTF-16 Big Endian
and Save with encoding ->
- UTF-8
- UTF-8 with Byte Order Mark
- UTF-16 Little Endian
- UTF-16 Little Endian with Byte Order Mark
- UTF-16 Big Endian
- UTF-16 Big Endian with Byte Order Mark
Related: #523 #652 and probably others.
We should add some simple encoding options. The most simple way is to perform encoding-detection and support UTF-8 and UTF-16. These are very easily extinguishable, and we can always default to UTF-8 when in doubt.
A more involved implementation should add a dropdown in the open dialog, and both Reopen with encoding and Convert to encoding sub-menus. These are not difficult, but quite a lot of work to do.
