Hi,
When I link to the file in the file system an xpt template, I'm facing
an encoding problem. I'm running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the following
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.8.0 (I tried under Win32 and have the same issue)
I tried to change the encoding of the linked file but always the same
problem, any idea how to resolve this issue ??
The linked template:
�ENDREM�
�EXTENSION org::eclipse::xtend::util::stdlib::io�
�EXTENSION extensions::common�
�EXTENSION extensions::stack�
�EXTENSION os_utils::OsUtils�
�EXTENSION Os�
�EXTENSION Os_Variables�
�REM�
/*==============================================================================
** Version check between Os.xpt and Os.xml
**=============================================================================*/
�ENDREM�
�DEFINE versionCheck FOR Root::Os�
�LET "1" AS OS_CFILES_XPT_SCRIPT_FILE_MAJOR_VERSION�
�LET "0" AS OS_CFILES_XPT_SCRIPT_FILE_MINOR_VERSION�
�IF (OS_CFILES_XPT_SCRIPT_FILE_MAJOR_VERSION != Os_getSwMajorVersion())
|| (OS_CFILES_XPT_SCRIPT_FILE_MINOR_VERSION != Os_getSwMinorVersion())�
�ERROR "Error E01: Os.xpt and Os.xml files have not the same version"�
�ENDIF�
Thank you in advance,
Áli

Dear Karsten,
The problem does not come from the linking of external files.
As xpt files contain specific characters they emerge the encoding issue
mentioned in my case, especially when sharing files between different
users.
To work properly, either by linking the file or by copying it, we should
detect the encoding of the file when created. So when a user A create a
file under windows, usually the default encoding is set to "Cp1252" then
if this file is sent to a different user B which work under MAC, the
default encoding is set to "Mac Roman". User B will be unable to read
the file correctly. To read it, he should set the file encoding to "Cp1252".
To resolved this encoding inconsistencies across platforms, I propose to
set the default encoding for xpt files on creation to UTF-8, or detect
it from the content like xml files.
Kind regards,
Ali AKAR

No, the user has to choose the right encoding.
I usually set the encoding of the folder containing templates to UTF-8. This way all new files automatically inherit this encoding, since the folder (or project-specific) encoding is shared through a settings file.
Sorry, but I will take no action here.
Kind regards,
~Karsten
