Atom not saved in correct encoding

Question

When saving a file by Atom, it always records the accents in UTF-8.

Even though the file being identified as ISO-8859-1 (there at the bottom).

So I did the following test at the terminal:

Before opening the file:

file -I arquivo.php 
arquivo.php: text/x-php; charset=iso-8859-1

Correct Texts: You do not have permission.

After opening the file and saving:

file -I arquivo.php 
arquivo.php: text/x-php; charset=iso-8859-1

Wrong texts: You do not have the permission.

I need to install something to fix?

Answer 1

It’s really a limitation, but it will help,

• http://editorconfig.org/
• https://github.com/sindresorhus/atom-editorconfig#readme

Just put a. editorconfig file in the root of your project, or in the directory you need

Rudimentary example:

root = true

[*]
charset = iso-8859-1 ou latin1(não lembro)

[*.{json,yml}]
charset = utf-8

Answer 2

In that discussion (and that) says that Atom actually has a problem identifying the type of coding. They must be tidying up.
