Bug in Viewer - hex mode

Hi,
I am trying to view a xml file in salamander's viewer in hex mode, but it doesn't show the same things like other viewers, for example the first line of xml with UTF-8 encoding - BOM (Byte Order Mark) and xml tag:
Salamander:
Code: Select all
D4 AA F8 3C 3F 78 6D 6C 20 76 65 72 73 69 6F 6E Ôªø<?xml version
other viewer
Code: Select all
EF BB BF 3C 3F 78 6D 6C 20 76 65 72 73 69 6F 6E ïť¿<?xml version
Viewer in salamander shows bad characters in right and even bad hexa-codes in left side. It also corrupts other UTF byte sequences, not only BOM

Look at Convert menu. Do you have the "Don't Convert" option checked?
Could you send me your XML file?

Oops... I had some conversion enabled, sorry for bothering with dumb question
But I think that it shouldn't be enablable in hexa mode

The code page is detected by the heuristics detection and could fail (your case). Could you send me your XML file so we can try to optimize our detection routine?

In your case, the displayed characters will change when you switch to the HEX mode and back. We don't think this is a good idea.

OK, I'll send it, but it's not neccessary, it does on every file with extended characters

It's good idea to preserve conversion in right side, where text is showed, but definitely not to convert it's hexa codes in the left

As I understood, this was probably case of xml file (maybe with some unicode encoding). does that mean, that you're already implementing unicode encoding for viewer?

No. Right now we are finishing FTP plugin and support for language translations. Please, look at
Roadmap.

We will add some warning message about applied conversion in text and HEX modes, it will be possible to turn off these messages. I believe this will solve similar problems.
