PL/SQL Developer not following file format setting

[Rahul P]

Hi,

We moved to Version 11 and I see that the PL/SQL Developer Program is not keeping the UTF-8-BOM setting but, instead, saving the file without encoding information. What are we missing?

This is a major issue for us, since, every time we save a file, even though there are no changes, our source control(Mercurial) recognizes it as if the file has been changed.

As an example, open a program file in pl/sql developer and save it after the setting the format to 'always use utf-8' . And check the file encoding. It's gone. Please help.

Can you let me know how the "Save with BOM" option is set (Tools > Preferences > Files / Format)?

 

[Rahul P]

Save with BOM (Unicode Byte Order Mark) is SET (checked).

 

[Marco Kalter]

We'll check it out.

Is there a workaround for this issue? The UTF-8 isn't being saved with or without BOM. Please help.

This will be fixed for the next patch release.
