today i've discovered may be a prob with file encoding (???) over a .txt file.
my pref setup is tuned to UTF-8 and a text file edited by TextMate was MacOS Roman, something to avoid definitely...
then, using another text editor i've converted this file to UTF-8 and discovered again that after having edited this file with TextMate the file becomes again in MacOS Roman...
the symtom is that TextEdit (also setup default to UTF-8) is unable to open the file.
did other get about the same prob ???
Same thing here today: I've got a file that is encoded with UTF-8, but it has to be ISO-8859-1. So I select "ISO-8859-1" from the encoding menue in the "Save As" dialog. But when re-opening the file, it's still UTF-8. (Another text editor is telling me the same thing.) In Preferences -> Advanced -> Saving, I've set File Encoding to "ISO-8859-1" and "Use for existing files as well" is NOT checked because usually I don't want to change the file encoding but rather keep it the way it is.
After converting the file using Cyclone [1], everything was fine but of course I'd prefer to change the encoding in TextMate. Did I do something wrong or is this a bug?
Kind regards, Tobias
