Text file encoding is now auto-detected and all extended characters should be decoded correctly regardless whether the text file was exported from Pro Tools using TextEdit (Mac OS Roman) or UTF8 format.
Basic unit tests are implemented but further refining may be necessary in as-yet unforeseen edge cases.
Issue
In Pro Tools during Export → Session Info as Text, if the text encoding is set to TextEdit (which is the default selection), it lossily converts various non-standard/extended characters in text strings (such as Marker name / comments).
Common Examples
Example 'UTF8' Format
Example 'TextEdit' Format (Pro Tool's default when exporting)
