Hello,

I'm trying to open source files with Lazarus, that some have non printed chars that result in the following warning: "File .... does not look like a text file. open anyway ?"

Is there away (other then ignore) to change this behaviour in Lazarus ?

Thanks,
Ido

No.
Just curious: What kind of source file contains 'non printed chars'?

No. Just curious: What kind of source file contains 'non printed chars'?

libsvn headers .. they are not part of a string but rather different end of line as i can understand ...

Regardless of that, Unicode contain many non printed chars, like direction, sound (for screen readers etc) and more ...

BTW, I noticed at the console that when I press on "ignore" there is the following verbose: TMainIDE.DoOpenEditorFile failed LoadCodeBuffer: /usr/include/subversion-1/mod_dav_svn.h

The 'file is text' check searches for #0..#8,#11,#12,#14..#31. There are no special Unicode characters in #0..#31.

I checked libsvn-dev and you are right - it contains the special char #12 - Form Feed.
I checked several viewers and editors and none like them. But they don't warn neither. Apparently they ignore this special printer character.
I changed FileIstText to allow 'Form Feed'.
