Hello Lex, Thank you for your patience...
No problem, thanks for yours, I'm sorry for the time this is taking, but since this does not misbehave here I have to get you to try everything :)
Several things to look at.
- what is the setting of preferences, files, default encoding (there
are two of them), had you previously set them and have they changed with the upgrade? Or have you used a new config with the upgrade.
Default encoding for new files is: UTF-8 Default encoding for non-unicode files is: None (The checkbox between these two options is set)
All ok, has no effect on loading since it is none.
As far as I can remember, I previously set the default encoding for new files to UTF-8, but I am not sure about the other setting...
- what is your machine locale
Both the above affect the order it tries encodings, then its in an implementation defined order
I don't know exactly. It is a Win 7 Professional German version, so I suppose the locale is CP1252
Have a look at the end of the Geany version line in the help->debug messages (line one or two usually) it should have a language.encoding
- after opening the suspect file, look at help->debug messages and
see what conversions it tried and what it ended up using
13:25:41: Geany INFO : Trying to convert 191588 bytes of data from CP1252 into UTF-8. 13:25:41: Geany INFO : Converted from CP1252 to UTF-8. 13:25:41: Geany INFO : J:\QUARTIS_dev\locale\QrtRes_de.rc : Conf (CP1252)
If this is the only "trying..." message then I would expect it gets the cp1252 from the locale, the question is why is there a difference between the menu encoding and the status line, both should be set from the same memory location.
You might also look at file->properties and see which it agrees with.
Hmmm, I think I might have an inkling what the problem is, depends on what your locale says.
Cheers Lex
