Hello, I have been developing in flash, and currently I am working on a dynamic flash website, eventually I ran into a common problem: The site is in spanish, a language which makes common use of acute vowels (áéíóú) and the "n-tilde" (ñ), so I wrote text into files to load them into flash, and these special characters didn't display very well, and caused alot of strange stuff to happen.
After weeks of investigating, going over stuff like font problems, locale settings, url encoding, it turns out that the best solution was to save the file as UTF-8 encoded text file. (I wasn't sure of it, but now I guess that common txt files are encoded in many diferent ways).
The issue is that Notepad++ doesn't seem to have an option to stablish the text file's encoding scheme (which I guess by default it is ANSI), or at least I haven't found it. I solved the problem by using notepad for Windows XP, which had the option, though I'll admit, I was amazed to find it there and not in Nodepad++.
In short: I love your program, but you might wanna fix this
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
For creating new file with diffrent default encoding style you could change the setting in 'Preferences...->New Document'.
If you mean the encoding sometimes gets lost, this could happen. A file which was encoded by Notepad with 'USC without BOM' could be set back to ANSI on reopening, because of non using USC's.
