How to set the file encoding type in the tooltip?

Post by Texano88 »

I would like that when the mouse hovers over the text file, the encoding type is displayed in the tooltip, for example UTF-8, UTF-16 with BOM, etc. Is it possible in XYplorer?

Was this meant to be default enabled for upgraders?

Kind of. Why? Is there a problem?

No, no problem, I just thought I'd double check before the change left beta because usually you seem to word it differently in the changelog if it is a default change.

Probably because it's more of an addition than a change, I just let it happen.
