Character encoding verification dialogs

When you edit a file with the Edit, Code Editor, or HTML Editor features, a window appears to confirm the file's character encoding. Use the menu to select the correct character encoding for the file. Then, click Edit to continue.

  • Click Toggle Help for more information about how to select the correct character encoding.
  • Click Disable Encoding Check to turn off future encoding verifications.

To enable or disable the Character Encoding Verification Dialogs feature, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Settings in the top-right corner of the interface. A new window will appear.
  2. Enable or disable the Character Encoding Verification Dialogs feature:
    To enable encoding verification, deselect the Disable Character Encoding Verification Dialogs checkbox.
    To disable encoding verification, select the Disable Character Encoding Verification Dialogs checkbox.
  3. Click Save.

Warning:

If you select the wrong initial encoding, your file may become corrupt. If your file displays as a series of special characters, immediately abort the edit and select the correct encoding. Do not save the file.
