I didn't even know what the default encoding and file type are, and
can't seem to find them in the options. Textpad4 reports them as ANSI
and UNIX on a file I recently edited. But some older files show PC as
the type.
In my case, I use WinSCP to move the files over to the test/build server
and haven't had any problems yet. But we are transitioning to UTF-8
encoding as part of a change in hosting services, and I will need to
figure out how to make that change in NetBeans and Perforce.
In any case, the file type, line endings and encoding need to be
selectable, with a default per project. Conversions should be done
through the "Save as" dialog. Save should preserve the state of the file
as read in. Any default settings should only be used when creating a new
file.
