Ini object won't save the UTF8 format

[ASD]

Build 257.14
Saved ini file still ANSI format even if UTF8 option enabled.

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).

This option for manually edit with a text editor?
MMF2 has no problem when saving or loading data from file contains UTF-8 characters even if unchecked UTF-8 option in INI object?

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.

Perhaps won't change the format if not contained the UTF-8 characters in saved ini file?
