A framework I am developing for requires me to save files using UTF-8 encoding. I tried EdSharp, and while I love its huge amount of features, it takes rather a long time to load, and when I'm opening file after file to edit code, EdSharp slows me down. Thanks in advance. -- James Scholes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contact Info: E-Mail: james@xxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN/Windows Live Messenger: jamesscholes@xxxxxxx Skype: james.scholes AOL Instant Messenger: jamesscholes000 Jabber: jamesscholes@xxxxxxxxxx TeamTalk Server: JamesScholes.com with default ports (10300, 10301) Social Networks: Facebook: Profile 1375965156 Twitter: JamesScholes Last.fm profile: jamesscholes000 Websites: jls-radio.com JamesScholes.com Live Journal: jamesscholes000.livejournal.com
