Encoding

The editor offers two encoding selectors.

  • The top drop-down Encoding (Refresh)  sets the encoding used to read the file. When you change it, the editor reloads the file from disk.

  • The drop-down next to Save sets the encoding used to save the file.

  • The Refresh button loads the last saved encoding.

To convert a file's encoding, read the file as ISO-8859-1 and save it as UTF-8, for example.

Note

After a conversion, the top encoding selector may still show the previous encoding. Check the value after reopening the file. Reset the read encoding manually if needed.

Access

To edit configuration files, you need the Edit config files permission. You assign this permission through a role.

Note

When strict client handling (strictClientHandling) is active, you access configuration files only through the selection dialog. The input field is locked. The allowConfigOnStrictHandling option re-enables manual input. You set both options in the ./etc/startup.xml file.
