Problem with ANSI/UTF8

Post by soloowaty »

Hi!
1. Each time i create a new file directly on FTP, its encoding is set to ANSI, despite the fact that in options i have UTF8 (without BOM). I have to to open it in notepad++, change its encoding to utf8, and then continue editing, which is VERY annoying.
2. There is a way around that - i can open any file from ftp with already changed encoding, and create a new file using it as a 'template' by 'save to FTP', but each time i select that option, i have to select ftp, than browse to the folder - it should remeber my last opened path, or just open the same ftp path that is opened in file explorer panel.

I'm only beginning with programming, but as i see it, it would be best to add a similar to notepad++ feature to just change encoding of opened file. Is something like this possible, or is this something in consideration or development?
Thanks

If you look at the status bar at the bottom of the program's window, you will see the encoding currently being used. Click it to bring up a list of encodings to choose from.
