Loading of repository fails because of encoding problem
Hi,
I'm trying to load a repository workspace on a Windows XP machine. After apparently loading all files, it fails, saying that many files have the encoding "MacRoman", which is not available on Windows. On my Mac, all projects explicitly use the UTF-8 encoding, including all the files listed by the error message. Where does this MacRoman come from? How can I check the saved encoding of the files on the server, and how can I change it? On a Windows Server 2003 machine I was able to load all files successfully, and there too, checking their properties reveals that UTF-8 is their encoding. What am I doing wrong? Many thanks, Jean-Philippe jep@zurich.ibm.com |

Further information: I had actually just changed the encoding of the problematic files to UTF-8, and the new encoding is not communicated to the server unless the file's contents themselves change. Then the server correctly reports the changed file encoding.
Cheers, J.-P. Hi, |
