Trust me, I use version control. This wasn't first person experience.l

Fair enough, and I didn't mean you specifically. But my point is that if you aren't using some kind of source control you can invite trouble just by glancing at something sideways. Hard drive failure, solar flares, bad hair day, anything you don't prepare for can disrupt your code. That's life.
So I wouldn't blame the technique for the issue. I use the technique in by Build Pack, which is kind of my latest meta project. It works great. And it's easy to build. And build again.
There is a locking issue due to a circular dependency in the build step so you have to build twice the first time, but whatever.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Hello!
I opened a old project and some source files with VS .
If the files was written with Windows characters eg. "Windows: Western"
an alert said that this file is now restored.
But the characters with codes above x7f are marked as unknown characters.
Do somebody know a tool to convert such files to Unicode without loss of the meaning of such characters?
Thank you

You can use Notepad++ to convert a file to a different codepage.
And next time you have a question, there are better forums than the Lounge for that.

I need a tool which searches for sources and other text files and
convert them to Unicode with BOM,
and leave the modification time.
I think, the new convention, where text files without BOM are processed as UTF-8 encoded
will cause much work for million of peoples.

Thank You!
I will try it after Chistmas.

and I wish you Merry Christmas!

Do you know, how to detect old Windows coded text files?
How Visual Studio detect them?
Thank you for advice

I usually just simply open them in vanilla notepad and check what encoding it autodetected. This autodetection isn't perfect though, but still one of the best.
VS also has an autodetect built in. I don't know how it works though.
|
|
|
|
|
Now I have written Powershell scripts to automate the conversion from ANSI to UTF-8

Getting that horse skull checked in might have been an interesting experience.
|
|
|
|
|
I take the easy route: check in a whole horse and then remove the skull at the destination.

I have a tradition to not open the door for a couple of weirdos with a horse's head (attached to a horse or not) every Christmas
|
|
|
|
|
Tradition?
How often has it happened to you?
I have a feeling you might like Midvinterblot.
A spare horse, a couple of virgins or a king makes a party. And a politician makes a good replacement for a king.
Being religious is not a requirement, it rather has a tendency to kill the fun.
