Problem Description:
When I create a new project, it does not give an option to set any base file encoding as it assumes the file encoding for the project is UTF-8 even though most of the documents have ISO-8859-1 encoding in this scenario.
If I have the File Navigator open on the left with a file selected and then go to Window -> Preferences -> Workspace and set the encoding to ISO-8859-1, it still has the UTF-8 encoding and neglects to change the encoding to ISO-8859-1.
This thread discusses the problem and related issues:
https://prerelease.adobe.com/project/forum/thread.html?cap=05D198F3B43F49EE950A8643486DF6D4&forid={E7CAEBDE-A8F5-4F52-B22D-E94600B746E8}&topid={3E201D69-1FFA-42F4-A96E-7905DB3D0C1E}
I am working as a developer on a project that originated in Europe so for whatever reason the original developers editor must have used ISO-8859-1 encoding.
I am attaching one of those files for reference that uses the ISO-8859-1 encoding.
Also note that if I save the file once opened that the original encoding would be lost and invalid characters would show as a diamond with a question mark in the middle of the diamond - not sure what to call this. Regardless, data loss occurs with this.
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a project in Blizzard that has a folder and the meta.cfm attached file within that folder. Try to change the encoding in the Window -> Preferences -> Workspace to ISO-8859-1. Open the file and see that characters are still encoded as UTF-8.
Actual Result:
File still UTF-8 encoded.
Expected Result:
ISO-8859-1 File Encoding.
Any Workarounds:
If I use File Navigator, right click the project, click properties, click resources, and change the text file encoding to ISO-8859-1, and submit, then any files underneath the project that inherit the encoding type from the parent will then use the ISO-8859-1 file encoding.
