Does not correctly detect latin-1 (when default encoding is utf-8) #7

Closed tomtom closed 3 years ago

It's probably because of juniversalchardet, but this plugin doen't correctly distinguish between utf-8 and latin-1, which led to the corruption of several files. I get no warning or whatever. The original File Encoding Info, which uses ICU, works more reliably in this context and correctly displays a warning.

Maybe you could revise the use of juniversalchardet or support multiple detection libraries?

In version 1.8.4, the switching feature between juniversalchardet and ICU4J has been added, so it will be closed.
