[GIT Latest 2010-07-19] "sprite.cpp" Bad Encoding

[Luiji]

sprite.cpp's file encoding is undetectable by GEdit, and probably many other text editors. It's encoding is apparently ISO-8859-1 (or something like that), as supposed to UTF-8 like the other files, which might add to the problems. I don't know how to fix the encoding, so if someone could please fix the GIT repository so that the encoding is correct, that would be great! Until then, GEdit users, just select ISO-8859-1 from the list of encodings and GEdit will properly open it.

Tomorrow, i'll get the git and upload a fixed version for you.

Do you have KUbuntu, Ubuntu, or Windows?

[Luiji]

My OS makes no difference. I just need it to be converted to UTF-8.

Uploading the file here isn't my goal. It's tedious, but I can open the file if I mess with GEdit long enough. I just want it fixed in Git so no problems will arise for others, and only FluXy has access permissions for Git.

Yeah, Gedit kind of sucks. I've always thought that, but now I have evidence to back me up.

Seems to be just a Gedit problem. Every other editor I've tried it on opens it fine (including notepad running through wine ).

[Luiji]

I realized that when I tested it with some other editors, too. I gotta switch away from GEdit.

By the way, BowserJr, what desktop environment do you use?

[BowserJr]

I'm a GNOME + Compiz fan, just because most of the software I like is GTK based, and XFCE and others are too stripped down (although I used XFCE for a long time).

My brother really likes KDE, because it does a lot more out of the box (e.g compositing), and feels more polished. It's all personal preference really.

Yes, this is a gedit bug, i ran it against my visual studio, it said it was utf-8.

[Luiji]

It's possibly a problem with GIT that is causing the file to not be properly downloaded to the filesystem with encoding information. Sadly, I think GEdit is the only text editor in the world (at least the only text editor in the world that I know of, and I know of a lot) that has problems automatically figuring out encoding information.
