Is the “Everything-1.5a.ini” UTF-8, with, or without BOM?

[SuperDude]

I recently compared an older “Everything-1.5a.ini” file with a newer copy, using Diffinity, and Diffinity showed there was an encoding mismatch between the two. This could be the fault of Notepad++, which I had set to open files as UTF-8 (and to apply to opened ANSI files). Thanks

Everything stores text files without the BOM by default.

The BOM (if present) at the start of the file is ignored by Everything.



To write the UTF-8 BOM when saving text files (including your Everything.ini) from Everything:

• Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
  /utf8_bom=1
• Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
• If successful, utf8_bom=3 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
  (The default is /utf8_bom=0)

utf8_bom
