Add UTF-8 support for em-commands via WM_COPYDATA

TC supports UTF-8 in WM_COPYDATA messages for switching directories but it doesn't support UTF-8 in WM_COPYDATA messages for executing em-commands. Please add such support, it is really necessary for em-commands with parameters.

Good idea, shouldn't be difficult to add.

Christian, are there any news here? Will you add UTF-8 support for EM-commands to TC 9.0?

No, currently not.

I think it would be good to see such addition in a major version, and it seems to be pretty easy to implement (just call another char to wide conversion function, one that checks for BOM at the beginning of string).
Code: Select all
em_xxx arguments
<BOM>em_xxx arguments

Hmm, according to my code this should already work - but probably just for the arguments, the em_ commands themselves are not Unicode?

Hm-m, it really works now! So thank you for checking it!
I've tested with TC 9.0b3 and some older versions, it works since
8.52. TC 8.51a and older versions do nothing when I send EM-command with UTF8-encoded arguments and BOM.
The only thing that it is not mentioned in the changelog.
