๐Ÿž Cannot show the contents of text files that are not UTF-8 encoded

plbstl opened this issue ยท 0 comments

Description

CodeEdit cannot show the contents of text files that are not UTF8 (and ASCII) encoded. They show up as empty.

This might be a duplicate of #1263 and it is not related to #1202 as that has to do with writing to a file.
Xcode shows file contents regardless of the Default Text Encoding Setting.

To Reproduce

  1. Open CodeEdit
  2. Select a text file that is not encoded in UTF-8

Example files can be gotten from: https://github.com/stain/encoding-test-files

Expected Behavior

CodeEdit should at least show contents of the opened file, even if characters are replaced with question marks.

Version Information

CodeEdit: 0.1.0-alpha (38)

Xcode: 15.3
