We are two persons using the 9.99-3 PPC version for Mac OS X. My partner creates her texts in it, and all I know is that I frequently receive us-ascii encoded text made in Amaya, despite that the preferences are set to utf-8. And I also know that this is nothing new - but perhaps it was more frequent in the previous releases. However, Amaya crashes a bit too frequently ... It might be that that in itself "defualts" it - or something. (A simply Copy command, when inside the cell of a Table, is all that is needed in order to get Amaya to crash.) And that is why I proposed making Amaya so that when it defaults, then it defaults to utf-8. Since it never defaults to ISO-8859-1, despite the fact that this is the «official» encoding default, but instead defaults to us-ascii, then my thought was that it defaults to US-ASCII because this is the first encoding in the files I mentioned. And thus I also proposed to turn that order. I understand that the encodings now is in logical order - US ASCII — ISO-8859-1 — UTF-8. But it should be just as logical to have UTF-8 on the top/first and US ASCII at the bottom/last. However, I will try to see if I can find a pattern in when this happens. -- leif halvard silli
