Would it be possible to keep some sort of global encoding setting, so that for example UTF-8 without BOM is used, both for opening and saving, if no explicit encoding can be detected?
The problem is that I wish to encode everything in UTF-8, but not all my files actually include characters that exceed ASCII. Therefore, even though I save them as UTF-8 without BOM, they get reopened as ANSI. And even though I add UTF-8 characters later on, the always get saved as ANSI (unless I explicitly change the encoding again).
Thank you for this great piece of software!

Okay, I'm not really sure how things get saved anymore, and if the encoding of choice sticks or not. But at least it SAYS that it's ANSI every time I open a file that contains weird characters and was saved as UTF-8 without BOM.

I'm having the same problem. When ever I open a utf-8 without BOM encoded file notepad++ auto-detects it as ANSI. I know that without the BOM notepad++ gets confused but I'm hoping there is some way to give utf-8 w/o BOM a higher priority.
