Title:
refuses to open files with incorrect encoding
Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
Fix Released
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gedit
gedit: 2.30.0git20100413-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu: 10.04 LTS
When I open a .doc document, I expect gedit to open it like Vim, Emacs and
even Nano:
Just read out the bare text to produce a jumbled heap of »^@^@^@^@^@^@^@« and
other symbols – but the main content still somehow human-readable if found.
Instead it gives me:
»Could not open the file /PATH/example.doc.
gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding.
Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file.
Select a character encoding from the menu and try again.«
(I forgot which ones the »several other formats« are specifically but
I know this has happened to me countless times.)
