Hello,
It happens sometimes that I want to compare files with less usual encodings.
But Compare It! encoding support seems to be very weak, and limited to what seems to be an automatic detection, for Ansi/Latin1/Win1252 and UTF-8.
It would be great if more encodings could be supported, either by profile or by manual change.
I think especially about .bat / .cmd files which are still needing, for historical reasons, to use a legacy encoding like cp437 (or cp850 in French).
I tried to create a comparison profile for that, but this would need to have comparison profiles able to be associated with a text encoding, and this doesn't seem to be the case.
Regards,
Gingko

Hello,
Could you please check http://grigsoft.com/wincmp4bu.zip ?
It has customizable encodings list. We can add link encoding to profile later.

Hello Igor,
This sounds better, thank you. I tried to add cp437 and cp850, and it works if I select it manually now.
Hope having some way to not have to select it manually in the future.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
(which could be selection by extension, or by profile, or even keeping a list of files having been manually set…)

Re: More charset encodings
Well, once it's actually working, we can consider how to use it better. I guess we can add it to comparison profile, or, maybe even better, to file filters, as additional property.
Re: More charset encodings
I have added encoding selection to file filters. check same beta version file.
