Ini object won't save the UTF8 format

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    When you create the INI file from MMF2 with the INI object, Windows creates it as a normal ANSI text file (the file hasn't the UTF-8 BOM), even if it contains UTF-8 characters. This is not a problem for MMF2, but this can be a problem if you want to manually you edit it with a text editor.

    If you want to be able to manually edit it as UTF-8 file, you have to create the .INI in Notepad and save it as UTF-8 file before using it in MMF2. Also make sure the first line is empty (and perhaps you have to create at least one section after the empty line).

    Not sure if I understand what you mean.

    MMF2 correctly saves UTF-8 characters in the INI file if you check the UTF-8 option in the properties (I've just verified it)

    If you want to be able to manually edit the INI file with the text editor like Notepad, create yourself the INI file with Notepad and add an empty line at the beginning before the first section.
