Hi all,
I've a strange encoding issue.
By default TM uses UTF-8 LF endoding.
When a file contaings spectial charaters, and one edit this file in an other texteditor, TextEdit, save this file and open in TM again, the encoding becomes Chinese GB18030.
How to reproduce:
Create in TM a new file with content: "some text with some special characters: é ü à" Save this file UTF-8 and LF encoding. close file open file in TextEdit and add a new line with some text, save Reopen the file in TM => now encoding is Chinese GB18030
Does any body have a clue what is hapening? It is special character related!
macOS 10.13.4 TM 2.0 rc9

well I tried with your string and it didn't happen for me, and when I checked with file it was ok... I would guess there is a problem with default encoding in text mate
$ file ~/Desktop/test1.txt /Users/gplayer/Desktop/test1.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text, with no line terminators $ file ~/Desktop/test1.txt /Users/gplayer/Desktop/test1.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text

I cant reproduce this either, on TM 2.0-rc.7
Is your default set to UTF-8 + LF, or is it something you are selecting manually when you save the file?
What file type is it showing as, when you open the file?

Hi, thnx for the prompt replies!
My default is UTF-8 + LF, no manually changes.

if the save from text edit is changing the format, check your preferences for text edit...

@Grady,
The settings of TextEdit are ok. It also happens in nvALT, so not directly text editor related.

I cannot reproduce it neither. However, you could try deleting the encoding database.

Thnx for the suggestion Ronald. But no effect.
Also tried it on a new user account.... same behavior.

I've been able to reproduce this. At first I thought I couldn't, but I didn't realize that I needed to use the Save As dialog to see the encoding. When I did that as the last step, feek's original instructions worked.
OSX 10.13.3 TextMate version 2.0-rc.9
Unfortunately, that's all I've got on this one.

OK. I was able to reproduce it as well. It’s a bug. The OS is returning utf-8 for the encoding, but TM is expecting UTF-8.
Are you on 10.13? I am not sure when this changed, the bug appears at least since macOS 10.9. I’ll see if I can submit a PR to fix this.

Good morning,
great Graham and Ronald,
Happy you can reproduce it as well.
Sorry I did not described the last step (use save as) clearly.
Yes I'am on MacOS 10.13.4 and TM 2.0 rc9.
Hope you can fix it!

Hi Ronald,
I saw your solution is implemented for the next version of Texmate: https://github.com/textmate/textmate/commit/1b33f6e36daefc48d9ba86822738c71e...
Thnx!!
Does someone know when we can expect a new Test Build (2.0-rc.10 I guess)? Hope soon.
