Notepad++ 5.2 got the feature to open an ANSI file as UTF-8 without BOM. I thought it's a nice feature, if there is an option to open a Windows file as an Unix file.

You missunderstood me. Just try on a windows system to write a file without a line break and save it in the unix format. Now reopen the file and it will be opened in the windows format. Notepad++ identify the format through the line break but if there is no line break, Notepad++ opens the file in the windows format. At this point should be an option how to handle such files.

In NPP 5.2 you can choose the option to automaticly convert an Ansi File to UTF-8 without BOM, it is quite helpfull if it is a short file, without Ä Ö Ü ß or sth like this.
If you add a comment with german special Characters it is not needed to show whethr you have converted it.
Sworddragon wants a "defeault" Option. If we open a file with just ONE LINE than there is no break. And if we insert a new line it is by default in the windows format
It is like the ANSI default in windows. If there is no special Character an UTF-8 without BOM file was open in ANSI-Mode
Windowsfileformat is not as important like the UTF-8 Problem, but we dislike it (and A default Option for create new files would be nice too)
Why does he need that (and i too):
We allways work with NPP or with a unix editor and it is annoying to allways remove the Windows File Format breaks...

Unix systems read UTF-8 and Unicode...

This feature would involve an automatic conversion. It is quite unlikely that users would want this IMO.
