Hi, I have been using reviewboard for a couple of months and during this time I have faced some encoding problems when posting my reviews. My currenty problem is the following. Sometimes code is posted with a different encoding, I have noticed it by checking the encoding of the files on the temporary folder (c:/windows/temp/reviewboard.??????). In my case, sometimes a file is encoded in ANSI and its new version in UTF-8 and the other way around. This scenario gives me an error when posting a review with the message, *"There was an error displaying this diff".* I must say that, I cannot avoid the current enconding mess as it is today. As the time goes on, all project's code will be using UTF-8 because we have defined it as the unique encoding of the project.
My questions are. 1. Am I right in assume that the diff error "There was an error displaying this diff" is caused by the difference in encodings? 2. Is there a way to force a conversion of the files inside the reviewboard domain. I mean, whatever the encoding, reviewboard will handle the files in a specified encoding and perform the conversion and the diff, even ignoring characters when the conversions isn't possible. 3. Is it possible to tell me where in the reviewboard's source code can I implement a behaviour like the one suggested in item 2? 4. Is there a simple way to fix this issue and I can forget all I have said on items 1, 2, and 3?
