Hello,
Very nice tool but conversion seems to not working, any idea ?

Source: koi8-r.zip

Amazing tool for me.

hello, in a folder structure with around 4000 files and 2000 folders, the program seems to have issues finding all files (find only 200 out of 1000 text files.
In a structure with even more folders, it will not find ANY files (0 processed).
When I go to a subfolder, it WILL find files that it did not find when I searched the root directory / a folder more up the directory.

The option "search subfolders" was always checked, and the file mask was *.txt

The operation systems were I testst were:

1. Win 11 Pro ARM with .NET 6 x64.
2. Win 8.1 x64.

The file system of the drives were NTFS.

The formatting of the files was mostly win-1252, us-ascii.

Hi, currently, the exe file is inside the git repo. I think it should be put in the release section of the github page.

Thanks.

I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." for both View and Validate options. I...

• Chose a valid directory.
• Selected a valid mask.
• Chose Windows-1252 and UTF-8 character encodings.
• I'm running Windows 10 and have .Net 4.8.03752 installed via Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full.

Example:
EncodingChecker.exe -console -f=FileName -from=CurrentEncoding -to=NewEncoding

Selecting utf-8 in Convert to select list, should mean that files will be converted to utf-8 without BOM.
Now, my files converted to utf-8 and that's really fine, thanks! But, also my files now have BOM within UTF-8.
So, EncodingChecker should have two different converter options: utf-8 and utf-8 bom

When I convert a file with a copyright symbol from windows-1250 to utf-8-bom encoding, it looks like this:
Copyright© XXXXX all rights reserved
AssemblyInfo.zip

It would be very nice to add support for line endings (CR vs LF vs CRLF). Although files can have mixed line endings. I need a good way to report and then change the line endings for entire directories and this looks like a promising project.

I select a file that is us-ascii & convert to utf-8.
It shows the new type for that file with a green check mark

However, when I click on View button OR open the app again, it's back to us-ascii

The binaries didn't run, so I downloaded the source & built it with VS 2019. Thoughts?

Hey, great utility! So handy for bulk file conversion, I used it recently to resurrect an old game manual.

This tool would be useful to those unfamiliar with GitHub / software development, and having an easy "Download Encoding Checker" button at the top of the readme might help. It would just link to https://github.com/amrali-eg/EncodingChecker/raw/master/App/EncodingChecker.exe.

Similarly, Windows Smartscreen blocks the program on first run, I believe due to no code signing certificate(?). This will probably scare some people off!

Right now I can only see utf8 (at least on the interface), I think utf8 (w or w/o BOM are grouped together). I have some projects where I need to make sure that utf8bom is used for all the files

Here is what error I get when I try to start the exe from the same directory as the dll on Windows 10 latest update:
