Codepage

[Stepan-H]

I have text files with codepade Windows-1250, but WinMerge opens files as Windows-1252. If I set in settings codepage to Windows-1250, WinMerge still opens files as Windows-1252.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in WinMerge?

What is set in the Codepage category of the Options dialog?

Ah, thank you. I had set "Detect codepage for text files with mlang.dll...". After I switch it off, files opens with 1250...

I'm used to applications recognizing the correct character set, which WinMerge obviously can't...
Fortunately, I'm comparing files that have same character set. I can't imagine how it would (not) work if I had a project with many files of different character sets.
