Solved AL writes the .key in UTF-8-BOM
-
Good morning,
Everything is in the title.
Is it possible in a future version to write the .key file in UTF-8?
Because the excel sheet, BMS-Key-File-Editor cannot correctly read the UTF-8-BOM format
It pastes all the text in cell A1, while the text in UTF-8 is copied line by line.Thank you again for the superb work done.

@ertiyu ah, indeed it looks like AL had been creating the file with utf-8 bom … well I didn’t know that was causing anyone problems but it’s fixed in U3.
-
@ertiyu no BOM there … it does however write unix-style line endings, which may be horking Excel (not sure)
-
actually notepad++ indicates UNIX, for the BMS-Auto.key file.
I found a trick to be able to import the BMS - Auto.key commands into the ecxel sheet, simply copy and paste the text into the “import” tab, that way the text is well written in each line.

Hi, after testing with the U3 still the same problem, it wasn’t just the UTF-8-BOM that was causing the problem, I think it’s the Unix recording mode that Excel doesn’t like
two screenshots with the same .key.
the first is the file created by AL, the second is a copy/paste into a .txt file created with windows, and renamed to .key
