More charset encodings
Posted: Sat Oct 03, 2020 7:39 am
Hello,
It happens sometimes that I want to compare files with less usual encodings.
But Compare It! encoding support seems to be very weak, and limited to what seems to be an automatic detection, for Ansi/Latin1/Win1252 and UTF-8.
It would be great if more encodings could be supported, either by profile or by manual change.
I think especially about .bat / .cmd files which are still needing, for historical reasons, to use a legacy encoding like cp437 (or cp850 in French).
I tried to create a comparison profile for that, but this would need to have comparison profiles able to be associated with a text encoding, and this doesn't seem to be the case.
Regards,
Gingko
