Hi,
I unsuccessfully searched the web site and the list archive, but I may have missed something.
I need to work for a client with humongous text files encoded in ISO-8859-1, with diacritical characters.
This is mostly OK, but I could not find a way to set the output window that TextMate opens to ISO-8859-1 encoding. This is a PITA. Léo Delibes César Franck Gabriel Fauré Edgard Varèse Jean Françaix Henri Büsser
Maybe I missed an issue here but if you open an ISO-8859-1 doc in TM (or maybe via File > Reopen with Encoding >) TM doesn't destroy that encoding. For saving you can choose "Save As" to assure that TM saves it as ISO-8859-1.
An other option to convert ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 is to make usage of the UNIX tool 'iconv -f LATIN1 -t UTF-8 THE_FILE' which one can run as batch to convert all files in a dir.
