1. There are no error messages displayed in my workflow. If I may be ignorant a bit, it just doesn't work. But it is a very good idea that user was notified aboud all these limitations when they are encountered (NULL value for example). Since Geany is not ashamed of nagging the user (#2863) it is only logical for such notifications (confirmation windows) to be included.

  2. I know it's not ASCII, that's why it's in brackets. I would only like to display ASCII symbols and all the other values with special (hex or so) symbols. Geany doesn't let me do that in any way. I also stated it's an 8-bit ASCII, which you conveniently overlooked. As a developer, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, otherwise just reread my OP and this time overlook the word ASCII.

  3. I know all that, but what you are trying to present as my issue is actually Geany's shitty nomenclature, not mine. I only used it out of my respect for the developers which apparently use it. If I need to be more explicit, Geany has Without encoding (None) option in Document > Set Encoding. Maybe that is another issue?

  4. And that does not seem broken to you, especially if non-Unicode default is set to no encoding?

  5. I agree. But I'd still expect better handling of this from a versatile text editor (see 0th point above).

  6. By "output not changing" I mean that I use the Document > Set Encoding function, select a new encoding and nothing ever changes after that. For example: If a file is opened as Unicode gibberish, it stays like that no matter which encoding is selected. I've tried this with different files/encodings, always the same, as if the function wasn't there. Can this functionality be broken from outside?

  7. I completely agree and that is why I think one should be able to disable this sporadic encoding-detection black magic altogether and just have a... you know... a working text editor...
