THX :) Maybe candidate for exception a feature added to stable branch :)
BTW: there is no 18x nightly - intentional ?

we can also use "radio checkbox" only one can be checked, other one get
unchecked once other is clicked(checked).
It was all day work to design and make this dialog work. My first dialog
in VS. So I'm not sure how to handle events, radios etc - I just copied
Encoding Dlg and tweak it. But I will see what I can do to get most of
it in next two days.

So you are suggesting to don't remember on load status. It is so?

Actually using this feature a little I found out that you may start with
edited file (e.g from IDE) which is broken already and thus on load
status is not what you want to get, so I can only agree.
However whole idea about keeping original state and ask what to fix only
when new incosistency was introduced is to be not that much talkative.
File you are editing may be "broken" for a reason.
E.g. all .rc have spaces on line end. End editing such file will
"always" ask if you want fix it.
Seems we never cover all possibilities ideally.

You then mean: Show "what to fix dialog" if:
  * there are whites in file end
  * multiple EOLs are used
  * spaces AND tabs can be converted
Especially first can happen quite often, Second and third seems be as
errorious case, but possibly ok.

I will implement it this way and we will see.

Right, there is map stored in regs so you can disable checks. Adding
forced fix can be done similary.
It can be settings directly or this one can be reused with little tweaks
- accessible from settings as well as from "what to fix" dialog.
So we get three regs.
  * feature on
  * force fix map - no question
  * ask if found map
The Tab2Sp vs Sp2Tab is little trickier, but can be solved.

Do I catch it right?
