Some UTF8 files revert to western encoding when reopened.

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, and when I built an application I forgot to ensure that the encoding was set to UTF8.
I went through all my files and changed the encoding from western european to UTF8. This was fine until I noticed that SOME files revert back to western european encoding when re-opened.
No matter how many times I change the encoding back ( using ctrl+j and choosing the dropdown in page properties ) and save the files, it STILL reverts back to western when opened.
This only seems to happen on certain files, and some are fine. I've tried creating a new file in UTF8 and copying the contents of the old one into it. The problem persists so I'm thinking that the file may contain odd characters that are causing Dreamweaver to 'intelligently' change the encoding.
Any ideas are welcomed. Many thanks.

I use lots of files that don't have headers, such as PHP includes which include snippets of HTML.
CS3 seems to look for special characters in the file and IF there are UTF-8 encoded chracters in the file AND it is saved as such, it'll remember that when reopening it. However, if there are NO UTF-8 characters in there and you save it as UTF-8, then CS3 will revert back to another encoding (western or some such...), regardless of the setting in preferences (for files without explicit headers).
This is a pain because some of my PHP includes may or may not contain Korean characters (multi-language site) and if I do add them, then I need to remember to switch the encoding to UTF-8 manually. It's just annoying that the global preferences, AREN'T!
I'll be upgrading to CS4 this week so I'll let you know if it's an issue there too.

  • Encore won't encode some PSD files in Flash

    I have succesfully completed a DVD project on Encore (4.0)  with mpg elements edited in Premier Pro (4.0). A number of slide sequences constructed from jpgs converted
    to pds files in Photoshop (cs5) have been used, plus some (individual, single) text slides, (constructed in Photoshop) have also been included with the DVD project. All of this works
    fine. However, when I render the whole project for Flash, the text files are not included! During the render process the file details are displayed but no yellow progress bar appears.
    The Flash file is prefereable to the DVD as this enables the Flash file to be available from a central common drive or server.
    Can anyone assist me with this? I can find nor reference to these types of issues iether on the forum or anywhere on the net.

    Hi Stan
    And thanks for the prompt reply. I will try this twixt Christmas and new year. My recollection was that the text created in Premier
    when imported into Encore looked “poor” as an mpg. However I had not rendered the project in Flash at that stage. Will
    have to look at how Premier works direct to Flash without Encore?

  • Keynote 3 files revert to Helvetica when Keynote is closed

    I have a strange issue regarding Keynote.
    When I create a new file, using for example the theme White I get a theme with the default font Gill Sans.
    I then make some slides and save the files and close Keynote.
    When I reopen the files, the font of all Master related objects has reverted to Helvetica, altough Gill Sans is perfectly nicely installed on my system.
    I have deleted the prefs for Keynote, both in the system library and the user library, I have tested other themes than White, including Black, Gradient and
    Does anyone of you have a clue what could be going on and how this can be solved?

    The last post was helpful.
    The Icelandic Extras contains fonts that caused the problem.
    The reason for Icelandic versions of the fonts is for Classic support. We have two super special charachters that cause us constant problems, not so much in Mac OS X, but they are a pain in the butt in OS 9 and the legacy Mac OS's.
    I found a solution to this, with the help of the Apple Iceland specialist (actually the maker of the tiger extras package) and after investigating Font book, I noticed that I had 3 copies of Helvetica on the system. One on Classic, one in Library and the third and most recent one in System/Library.
    Disabling the older versions of Helvetica solved the problem.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Some AAC files are truncated when iTunes plays them

    When I had iTunes 6, I went through and converted all my MP3's to AAC using the Advanced > Convert Selection to AAC option. When I upgraded to iTunes 7, it stopped handling some AAC files correctly. When they play, they get almost to the end, then abruptly stop and the next song plays. Quicktime handles these files perfectly, and plays them through the end.
    A. Why is this happening? (Are they encoded badly? I feel like this can't be the case, since I've only used iTunes to encode my files, and Quicktime handles them fine)
    B. How can I fix it?

    Actually, no I don't have crossfade playback on. The files cut out anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds before the file is supposed to finish, it really has nothing to do with crossfade...

    ## put this in a UTF8 file without delimiter and enclosure like
    The basic question is how you put the characters into the file. Most probably, you produced a WE8MSWIN1252 file and not an UTF8 file. To confirm, a look at the binary codes in the file would be necessary. Use a hex-mode-capable editor. If the file is WE8MSWIN1252, and not UTF8, then the SQL*Loader control file should be:
    LOAD DATA characterset WE8MSWIN1252
    TRUNCATE
    INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
    ID CHAR(1)
    , TEXT CHAR(40)

    Hi
    Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
    Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
    As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
    Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
    • Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
    • Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
    • Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
    • Then iPhoto should start up OK
    • Now Quit iPhoto
    • START iMovie
    Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
    If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • Premiere Pro CC freezes when processing some .mov files

    I'm new to Premiere.
    I just got some .mov files to be edited.  I'm not sure how they were created.
    When I try to do anything with them Premiere freezes and I have to force it closed and then manually kill Adobe QT32 Sever.exe in order to restart Premiere.
    If I can get a clip to play, the video freezes but the audio plays.
    The Media Pending screen shows in the thumbnails when mousing over the clips in the bin.
    Just importing all the clips into a project will freeze Premiere.
    Quicktime Player plays the files ok.
    Loading the files into  VideoPad results in a 4 second clip. That is, every file ends up being just the first 4 seconds when VideoPad imports it.
    I do not have this problem with other .mov files from a Nikon D3100.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply, Jeff.
    The MOV files are client provided.  He emailed me today that he recorded them on a consumer camera that created AVCHD files which he converted to MOV through a free utility he found on line.  Sigh. 
    Since Quicktime Player plays the individual files he didn't know there was a problem until they were given to me to assemble into a finshed piece.  As the clip numbers are not sequential, I'm guessing there was a committee who looked at all the clips and chose the ones they want in the final product and only those were given to me. 
    He said he could copy the original files onto a DVD (hopefully he has the entire contents of the chip so I will get all the files that were created as this knowledge base article indicates).
    I tried Handbrake and what I get is a split second of live video which then freezes as the audio plays out. :-(  I, too, suspect the fault is in the multiple video data types.
    Thanks again for your input.
