Default file encoding

[PsCustomObject]

Product: PowerShell Studio 2020 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.7.172
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit) 1909
Build: v10.0.18363.0

Hello,

more than a support this is a more general question, I've noticed that the latest build is creating new PS1 files with UTF-8-BOM encoding vs UTF-8.

I'm not sure if this is intended/by design but is there a way to change the default encoding? I have a requirement to have files in UTF-8 and can be tedious changing this on every new file I create (with a 100% success rate of me forgetting to do so).

The other question is in regard to the editor option "Show white spaces" is there an option to hide newline characters? I am interesting in showing dots for white spaces but would like to hid the new line character only. If not I'll be glad to open a feature request.

Thanks!

We are looking into this and will get back to you soon.

Upon further investigation, it appears that the templates for PowerShell Studio encoding were changed. We are currently looking into a fix for this.

As for the other matter, that is not a feature at the moment. You are welcome to file a feature request and we will see what we can do:

Many thanks Brittney is there any update/ETA on this?

I'm asking as just noticed that editing some existing scripts will not retain previous encoding so if I don't remember to update this before commit is gonna reflect in the git repository making comparis between commits a pain.

Thanks in advance for any update.

We have decided to keep the default encoding in the templates as UTF-8-Bom. We are currently adding an option to set the default encoding for new files. This should be included in the next service build that will be released soon.
