xnedit does not automatically recognize charset of a file #140

When opening a file I always have to manually select the correct charset. I have the impression that "nedit" did better on this.

Hello, I have some questions:

  1. what is the encoding of the file?
  2. what is your locale?
  3. can you provide a test file, that is not detected correctly?

Btw, nedit doesn't try to detect anything, because it doesn't support multiple charsets and only works, if you are using a non-UTF8 locale.

I my case it's mainly UTF-8 and LATIN-1 (ISO8859-1) BTW great work for your side to provide XNedit
