Writing permissions and encoding settings

[Pauli Rikula]

Binary package hint: kile

Kile 2.1 Does not change writing permissions after saving using ISO 8859-1 encoding or setting the encoding to ISO 8859-1 if tex-file contains 'öåäÖÅÄ'-chars and it has been opened as UTF-8 file. When opening the file at first place kile said 'The file foobar was opened with UTF-8 encoding, but contained invalid characters. It is set to read-only mode, as saving might destroy its content.

test for example:

$ python -c "open('test.tex','w').write('\\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}\n\xe4\xe5\xf6\n')"

$kile test.tex &

$ apt-cache show kile

You have to toggle the read only mode manually, from the menu: Tools -> Read only mode (1st entry)
