Re: Meld 3.11.0 and encoding

[Claudio Fischer <claudio fischer freenet de>]

Hi Kai,

thanks for the answer,
I dont use gedit, because linux mint uses an older version and ubuntu 
the newest.
I switched to "geany" and use it as default text editor on all my linux 
systems,
not looking back :-) and has no encoding problems with any text file 
format ...

Cheers,
Claudio
