Unicode support for diff/preview window
Created originally on Bitbucket by Ellerbrok (Marcel Ellerbrok)
Dear TortoiseHG-Team,
I am professional software developer at AICON 3d Systems GmbH. Our software is translated into al lot of languages including russian, chinese and japanese.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 automatically saves all files that contain foreign language characters like cyrillic, chinese and so on in unicode utf-16le format. Unfortunately several parts of your software, like the diff preview, or the "Hg file log viewer" are not able to show such files. They only say "File is binary".
I know that utf8 is supported by your software, but it is impossible for mie to reencode all resource files after each end every change i make to then, because VS2010 saves them again in UTF16-le.
So, please add UTF16-le support to your code/diff/preview windows. I attached two screenshots of your windows and a sample russian resource file.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards, Marcel Ellerbrok
