Public bug reported: This is a feature request (not a bug).
'gedit' allows to view a text file with a different encoding only when you click on the 'open' button via the GUI. But sometimes you drag a file to an already open 'gedit' instance and wish to change the encoding easily. This is not possible... Therefore please allow to change the encoding easily: For example, add an option to choose the encoding under the 'View' menu. ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646790 Title: Allow to set the view encoding via menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1646790/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
