German Umlaute characters incorrect in GUIs

Post by FrankAndrew »

.
Product: PowerShell Studio 2020 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.7.173
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.17763.0

This is posted here instead of the GUI forum because the file formats used by PowerShell Studio 2020 has changed.

As you know the possible file encoding formats for the script files can now be:

I have a HashTable of office names in some of my scripts. Here is a look of some of the ctiy names with the German umlaut characters in them:

This is what they look like in a DataGridView Table:

I have tried all four of the listed file encoding formats with NO difference in the GUI.

What am I doing wrong?
Do you guys need to change something?

If I create an EXE file the umlaute ARE correct.

In all other cases: Debugging, or running an exported PS1 file or just running the script from inside PSS the display is incorrect.

This was NOT the case before the file encoding change.

If possible, could you provide us with a sample script demonstrating the behavior? You can upload it here:

Hi Brittney,

Thanks for the information about where I am supposed to find the formatting for each file.
It was just "UTF-8". After changing it to "UTF-8-BOM" it works as needed!

I thought that changing the setting in the Options menu would change all open files but as I see now that is only for new files.

Being as I have used PrimalScript for more than 15 years I was looking for this information in the context menu of the file being edited and then under properties. I wondered were that Information had gotten off to. I did NOT even look down there in the frame of PowerShell, but I will now.

The problem is NOW fixed, Thanks again.
