Id's of .al files with UTF-16 encoding are not synced #46

Closed TeusV closed 1 year ago

TeusV commented 1 year ago

Object ID Ninja suggested IDs that were not free. Turns out that I have some .al files with UTF-16 LE and for these files the object ids are not synced. I don't know why these files had UTF-16 encoding and I'm going to change it to UTF-8, I'm just reporting this in case you would like to know.

This is interesting. I wasn't paying attention to encoding, and it could be that the parser fails because it does indeed read files as UTF-8.

I wonder how you got them to be UTF-16... 🤔

TeusV commented 1 year ago

Yes I wondered about that too :) They were all extension objects, we might have the ForNav txt to AL convertor to blame.

Ok, then if you don't mind, I'll close this issue as "wontfix". Normal AL files are all UTF-8, and this is actually a ForNav issue that should be reported to them.
