Notepad3: Empty file becomes ISO-8859-1

[maboroshin]

In Notepad 2, an empty file (0 bytes) was read with the specified default encoding.

However, in Notepad 3, the character code of the empty file is ISO-8859-1. Even when assuming a specific character code, it is necessary to specify each time.

On the other hand, in File> New, it becomes the specified character code. Because the behavior does not match, I think that the behavior is not reflected in the empty file.
I want the same behavior as Notepad 2.

Please test development beta version _develop_4.18.809.1049.

Keep in mind: Once a(n) (empty) file with (wrong) encoding has been saved, and the File-History is active, the (wrong) encoding is stored within the History and used on (re-)loading this file.
So for testing, please discard it from History, to test the bug-fix.

Thank you @RaiKoHoff. I've confirmed. This fix is useful. 😃

Can I report more and more? Should I take a day off?

Also I can do it. It is to translate the string ("" type) of the resource file (.rc) into Japanese language.

[RaiKoHoff]

Sure, report as much as you like 😄
If you vote in, I can prepare a "ja-JP" language project with corresponding .rc files for you to translate 👍 😄

[maboroshin]

All right.
Then, I want to translate it into Japanese.

It was repaired by the current 4.18.919.1110. No problem now. It had relapsed.

As far as I am concerned, this issue may be closed....

[maboroshin]

It is okay to close it.

There were actually two topics.

• Fixed topic.
  RaiKoHoff 's fix works on "File -> New". Maybe this fix was made. I did not know well until October.

• Remaining another topic.
  When creating "new text file" on Windows. Behave for This file, is a specification change from Notepad 2.
  * Notepad 2 sets default encoding for this empty file. Probably so.
  * In Notepad 3, because character code analysis was improved, it became ISO-8859-1.

We may later create a new Issue.
