Re: Avoiding encoding I/O Error

Hi,
sorry for the late response :

To detect if a file is binary, jEdit will first try to detect encoding with the standard encording detectors (BOM, XML, html, python ...), if unsucessful try to read the 100 first bytes of the file using default OS charset to detect null chars.
If it found null char then it is considered as binary.

About fallback encoding, it allows jEdit to try other encodings if the other solutions failed, but it seems it is not used during search, not sure why yet.
