Maybe the Open dialog uses the native ones which won't have the option. You can disable this in the prefs (or maybe not for the macos builds?). Or use *File → Reload As* once it's open. > If I open the log file that contains non-unicode content geany will start > rendering it correctly and once it reaches that character it will change > buffer to unicode gibberish.

Ah, this might explain some things 🙂 We've got 2 options about encoding: 1. The encoding we want to write to disk. This is in *Document → Set Encoding*. This does *not* change the buffer contents (e.g; what you see on screen); all it does is that next save will try to convert to that encoding. Changing this is useful if the file content displays correctly, but you'd like to change the on-disk representation of that data. 2. The encoding we want to use to load the file, and transform the data to something that can be displayed. This usually match the encoding we want to save to, but you can force Geany to try a specific encoding for loading the file instead of whatever it would use by default. This can be either done in the Open dialog if you have the option, or through *File → Reload As*. The encoding used for saving will automatically match, no need to worry. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2910#issuecomment-4117558944 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
