[Github-comments] [geany] Unable to watch patch file created byTortoiseSVN if path contains non ASCII characters (#873)

> Well ... what can we do?
The most expected improvement here is possibility for changing encoding for all files (means it also must be applyed for files which contain different encoding and some binary data)

The next most important improvement more fundamental.
It seems more logical not reopen entire file when you change the encoding. Be better if we would store a file in a binary representation and use the appropriate encoding on the fly when displaying the visible part. This would give ability change the encoding displayed part of file on the fly as quickly as possible without the need for reopening the file. It would be best improved.

Finally, fantastic improvement. If we would make improvements described in the paragraph above, it would be possible to store the displayed encoding for each line, which would be able to corect view all  *.patch files need only specify the encoding for content and for path separately.

P.S. Big thanks for workaround, but I hope you listen me and improve my favorite editor.
