I don't have the code here as I'm at work, so can't debug it, but I suspect that when you convert "ż" to Windows-1252 rather than UTF-8 we are getting a fallback character which is z.

This was not an appropriate tone, I was a bit harsh.<br /> Your changes sound good. Do you want to send me a copy of the testing build? The e-mail adress should be available for you as forum administrator.</p> <p>"Of course if your default code page is UTF-8 then you get UTF-8 rather than any ANSI encoding."<br /> Hm, that's quite wrong. Convert to ANSI should always do what it says. *g* In N++ there is no difference between utf-8, utf-16 and several 8-Bit-Encodings. You either say "this file now has this encoding" or you say "convert to that encoding". For new files there is an option (settings -&gt; new/open/save) where you set either ANSI, UTF-8 (with/out BOM) or some UTF-16 (UCS-2? That's old.) variant.</p> <p>On second thought, your menu structure for encoding is quite ok. You can set an encoding for new files and you can convert files to other encodings. It just has to work properly.^^</p> <p>About search / replace: now it works, strange. Sometimes it adds some characters to the beginning or end of the file. And a second bug: if you have marked some characters for replacing, the search box contains the characters as ANSI encoded bytes, e.g. if I mark "ä", then search/replace, the search box contains "ä". Of course only when my current file is UTF-8. This is again something where you give utf-8 some different behaviour instead of treating it as just a different encoding... (Seems to me you never even thought of UTF-8 when writing the first versions. *g*) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2025#post-7380 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 21:06:33 +0000 simon 7380@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Ok, I have done the work to switch to default encoding. There are still two options, but they are different and now more clear:</p> <p>`<br /> Default Encoding: [ANSI ]<br /> UTF-8<br /> UTF-8 No BOM<br /> UTF-16 Little Endian<br /> UTF-16 Big Endian</p> <p>Multi-Byte Character Support for ANSI: [Default ]<br /> Chinese Big 5<br /> etc.</p> <p>The character set option is gone and is unlikely to return, the above should be enough. I'm happy to provide a private testing build to anyone to try this out and give feedback before the release. Let me know!</p> <p>Also still interested in search bugs when UTF-8 encoding is in use. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2025#post-7379 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:46:00 +0000 simon 7379@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Also, I will of course look at the Notepad++ options later and see what they do differently. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2025#post-7378 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 16:45:42 +0000 simon 7378@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Sorry about this, clearly still some work to do.</p> <p>The problem with converting to ANSI is caused because I use the default code page when converting to ANSI. Of course if your default code page is UTF-8 then you get UTF-8 rather than any ANSI encoding.</p> <p>I guess what I really want to make available is:</p> <p>1. Default encoding for new files.<br /> 2. Default code page for ANSI files (?)</p> <p>All other settings should be hidden.</p> <p>As for Search, I'm surprised that's not working. For example, if I use the above utf-8.txt example file and search for ÊËÌÍÎÏ then it finds both upper and lowercase versions which is as I expect.

No. Still not fixed. (I'm sorry for not checking the forum a longer time, but I started a new job and it is quite time-intense.)</p> <p>I set Options -&gt; General -&gt; Defaults -&gt; Code Page to "UTF-8", because I want new documents to be created as UTF-8 ones. But we still are not able to open our old ANSI encoded documents without hassle. See point 1 in my first posting.<br /> And I can't create anymore ANSI documents. If you have (with UTF-8 setting) an open utf-8 document, convert it to ANSI and store it, it is still utf-8 (without BOM). Not that I want to convert _to_ ANSI, but a bug is a bug. *sigh*</p> <p>Why do you still have this kind of double or triple setting? And all this unicode/ansi not really running code? There is "Code Page", "Character Set" and "Encoding" (in "File" menu). This is not useful. I mentioned this way more than a year ago and also gave you the solution: just make _one_ setting for an encoding/character set the user wants to have.</p> <p>I'll tell you what. Make UTF-8/encoding support the same as in Notepad++. And make the settings the same. Look at its "Encoding" menu and you'll see what I mean. It is just _simple_ and it works.</p> <p>... and search / replace still is unusable in UTF-8. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/2025#post-7342 Wed, 01 Sep 2010 22:21:44 +0000 simon 7342@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Happy to say that verison 2.1.5 (due for release shortly) will include encoding conversion between UTF-* and ANSI.

It has been a while since I looked here for new versions and this one impresses me. Native support for extensions without the need to install Python (and a nice text sorting extension) and native UTF-8 support, finally. You see, UTF-8 is the future, but already for years, so PNotepad was already late. ;-)</p> <p>If you only edit UTF-8 files everything is nice. But I also have many many old ANSI (1252) files, and it would be great to use PNotepad as all-purpose editor for both encodings. Here is why is that not yet possible:</p> <p>1. I want to create new files automatically in UTF-8. But when I set „Code Page“ to Unicode (UTF-8), all opened ANSI files (with automatc encoding recognition) are displayed wrong. The editor recognizes ANSI encoding and says so in status line, but instead of an „ü“ I only get a square with „FC“ written in it. So it seems a bug: the text window wants to display the text in UTF-8, but it is ANSI and it should be displayed so.<br /> That's really annoying. Either I can't open my old ANSI files properly or I manually have to change encoding from ANSI to UTF-8 on every single new-created document.</p> <p>2. There is still no easy conversion between encodings, which I proposed in July 2008: <a href="http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/443#post-1558" rel="nofollow">http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/443#post-1558</a><br /> And yes, I rechecked the behaviour. It's still the same. It would be so easy to implement an option to set/change the encoding in the save dialog window.</p> <p>I already created two bug reports (875 and 876) for these issues. Hopefully I'm waiting for them to be finished (at least 875). :-) </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/334#post-1187 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:43:08 +0000 Fixxxer 1187@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Well, I figured it out!

To cut to the quick, basically, I need help setting up a C compiler with PN2. Here's the whole story...</p> <p>I really want to get into programming AVR microcontrollers, so I figured that I'd need to learn C first (I'm using the Kernighan &#38; Ritchie book). I went ahead and installed the latest WinAVR package, which includes PN2, but my problem is that PN2 didn't come with a C compiler to compile small "learning" programs for DOS/Win...</p> <p>It was suggested that I install Dev-C++ v4, since it comes with a compiler that allows you to create .EXE files that can be run from DOS/Win. I did that, and it works great for all of the "practice" programs that I've been writing to help me learn C, but I REALLY hate the look and feel of Dev-C++ (and I LOVE the look/feel of PN2).</p> <p>So, the big question is, can anyone help me configure PN2 to use a C compiler that I can use to compile the programs that I write from my training book into .EXE files that can be executed in DOS/Win.? It may be a very basic question for some of you, but since I just started learning about C a few weeks ago (I still don't really know anything about compilers, makefiles, etc.), I really have no idea what needs to be done to make this work.</p> <p>I've tried searching the forums and the PN2 documentation, but I can't seem to find any step-by-step instructions on how to get a DOS/Win. C compiler set up in PN2. If anyone could spend a few minutes to help a newbie out, I would really appreciate it!</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> -Lee </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/254#post-927 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 06:12:43 +0000 mirkosoft 927@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi simon, thank you for this tip, it works well.
