[oXygen-user] [bug][SVNClient] Encoding issue

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

The error means that the characters of the file cannot be decoded from 
the byte stream using the declared encoding of the file. If you start 
the SVN client from the Tools menu of the oXygen application then 
changing the Encoding errors handling setting is enough. The change is 
applied only to the preferences of the oXygen application because each 
standalone application has a separate set of settings. This is why the 
change of the setting had no effect. In the next version we will add the 
setting also in the Preferences dialog of the SVN client so that you can 
change it also in this application. So in the current version (8.0) you 
have to work with the working copy in the SVN client started from the 
Tools menu of the oXygen application. Just add it to the Working copy 
view using the Add/Remove Working Copy toolbar button.


Regards,
Sorin
