It looks like you really don’t fully understand what I’m writing.
An editor - any editor - of course has its own rules according to which it works with a file.
And of course - if it copes the way you need it, that’s great and you’ll be happy to use it.
BUT! There are situations/editors - when it is NECESSARY to do something preliminary so that further work is a pleasure.
So, in order to quickly solve this problem, it is proposed to introduce an option that would guarantee that when Total creates a file,
then it will be done in the encoding that I need (and in 99/100 it is UTF-8), because otherwise ALL my editors will interpret the file as ANSI (CP1251). And this is quite understandable in concept - because they are working with an empty file(0 bytes) that they did not create themselves, they were only given the path to it.
Therefore, if you simply have one pleasure and not an editor - you will not need to use this option and everything will be fine for you. But I would enable it and always get the creation of the text file I need in UTF-8 encoding.
