I used VIEW with some ANSI (Windows 1252) files containing non-English characters like "åäö".
It seems that VIEW often fails to detect the correct encoding and opens the file in UTF-8 mode which garbles the input. (Adding or removing a single line can cause VIEW to choose the wrong one)
Is there some way to improve this, or maybe specify the encoding on the command line when opening the file?
Refreshing (F5) the display when the file is opened seem to make VIEW choose the right encoding though. Strange. Would be good to be able to skip that step though.
Another issue with VIEW is in CSV mode. It seems that displaying the gridlines cause my monitor (I turned off the speakers) to emit some low humming noise. Turning them off makes it go away. And vice versa.
I would assume this is monitor specific, or have someone else noticed the same? Changing the gridline color to something other than black makes the humming less loud or makes it go away entirely.
The problem is that hiding the gridlines is not remembered next time VIEW is started in CSV mode. You have to hide them again. Could this perhaps be changed? Or an option to specify if they are visible at startup added?
(Best would be if there were no humming noise at all, but I realize this might be hard to fix reliably. Many different monitors out there - mine is an Eizo FlexScan S2402W)
