Copy Filenames to Clipboard as UTF-8 / UTF-16

Post by *Squisher »

Hi,

it would be nice if you could choose the encoding used for filenames copied to the clipboard. Currently tc seems to use some windows codepage. 1252 on my system, don't know if its system dependent.

Regards,

No, TC already uses Unicode for copying the file names to the clipboard. Otherwise you couldn't copy a mix of Latin accents, Cyrillic, Greek, Chinese etc. Of course this only works when the target also uses CF_UNICODETEXT clipboard format like notepad.exe, and not CF_TEXT. For programs using CD_TEXT, TC sets the code page to the current user's input code page.
