Re: Problem with UTF-8-files and creating and appliying patches

Hi Felix,

Well, I have about 7.000 files (all created with Visual Studio 2008),
which all have the BOM. And whenever I open and save the file with
Visual Studio, the BOM might be back. I am also not sure how the BOM
will affect the encoding, maybe all my umlauts are lost?

Why is the BOM a problem? I think it's a bug that TortoiseMerge does
not handle the BOM correctly when applying a patch.
