Hi,
The enhanced character support in TortoiseMerge 1.4 is greatly
appreciated, making diffs of .po files more sane and workable. There is a
case that still isn't handled well when diffing po files though, which is
where a translator has changed the character set, e.g. between iso-8869-1
and utf-8, and where lines are reported as having changed (because they
have at the byte level) but where they look the same because they are the
same at the semantic level. This makes identifying the true changes like
finding a needle in a haystack and near enough impossible.
The proposal is for a feature to convert the character set of the working
base to that of the working copy on the fly prior the diff, so that in
this case the working base would be converted to utf-8 and then compared.
The conversion character set could be autodetected, but manual selection
would be just as fine.
Apologies if I missed a feature already in there to do this but I couldn't
find a way to do this automatically.
Nick
