Recent changes to 1923: buffer-local-property encoding not taken into account in the Templates pluginhttps://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/plugin-bugs/1923/2022-11-15T21:19:44.684000ZRecent changes to 1923: buffer-local-property encoding not taken into account in the Templates pluginbuffer-local-property encoding not taken into account in the Templates plugin2022-11-15T21:19:44.684000Z2022-11-15T21:19:44.684000ZHarry KARADIMAShttps://sourceforge.net/u/hkara01/https://sourceforge.netf46703aaee59b69c9660d5618131d99acb2cf16e<div class="markdown_content"><p>If you put a buffer-local-property like this :</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code>:encoding=UTF-8:
</code></pre></div>
<p>into a vm template it will not be taken into account when the file will be generated.<br/>
The buffer will still be in the native encoding (cp1252 in my Windows 11 for ex.).<br/>
This is confusing and I often got caught in this issue.</p>
<p>I found a workaround, I add these 4 lines somewhere in the template :</p>
<div class="codehilite"><pre><span></span><code>#<span class="nv">beanshell</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="ss">(</span><span class="nv">false</span><span class="ss">)</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="nv">buffer</span>.<span class="nv">setStringProperty</span><span class="ss">(</span><span class="nv">buffer</span>.<span class="nv">ENCODING</span>,<span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"UTF-8"</span><span class="ss">)</span><span class="c1">;</span><span class="w"></span>
<span class="nv">view</span>.<span class="nv">getStatus</span><span class="ss">()</span>.<span class="nv">updateBufferStatus</span><span class="ss">()</span><span class="c1">;</span><span class="w"></span>
#<span class="k">end</span><span class="w"></span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>Hope it helps.</p>
