saving CSV file as Windows-1256 instead of UTF-8

[sk2107]

Hello,

can I save exported CSV file as Windows-1256 instead of UTF-8 directly from Everything menu (without using command line)

thank you.

Do you mean Everything files like Filters.csv ?
This files are already in Code page 1252.

No, what I mean is exporting the results to file from Everything menu File--Export which is by default UTF8.

For me results exported as CSV have the Windows 1252 code page.

Windows 11 Home x64 Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.918)
Everything 1.5.0.1317a (x64)

Hello,
In my machine the output is UTF-8, I am using Windows 10 Pro
Everything Version 1.5.0.1315a (x64)

Even Filters.csv is UTF-8

Sorry, I made a mistake.
My editor is AkelPad and it showed the wrong code page in this case.
So the Everything config files and also exported results are in UTF8.
This works fine in all tools I have and also supports characters from different code pages.

Everything uses Unicode.
Everything saves CSV files as UTF-8. (There's is no other encoding option)
Saving as Windows-1256 might lose information.

You will need to convert your UTF-8 CSV files with a third party tool.

Everything doesn't store a UTF-8 BOM by default.
Some third party programs might expect the BOM.

To turn on the UTF-8 BOM in Everything:

• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /utf8_bom=1
• Press ENTER in the Everything search box.
• If successful, utf8_bom=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

that would be sufficient.

thanks a lot
