How to set the file encoding type in the tooltip?
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?

It's actually a useful idea!
The next beta will offer it in Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show file info tips | Select Extra Fields...

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.
