Mindforger cannot read markdown files that have a BOM
I am running Mindforger in WSL (thank you very much for providing the instructions for this!) It works great, but I've run into one issue with any utf8 .md file that has a BOM. Because I've used PowerShell to process some of my converted markdown files, and because PowerShell by default outputs utf8 files with a BOM, almost all of my markdown files begin with a BOM. Mindforger simply cannot read them. It acts as if they were not there. If I remove the BOM from one file in an application like Zettlr (where it is clearly visible as a red dot), it instantly appears in the Mindforger notebook list. Clearly I could run a grep command recursively to remove the BOM very easily, but it seems to me that Mindforger should in principle be able to process these files, as a BOM is permitted in utf8 files and several Windows tools (including Notepad) output it by default. Pandoc has no problem with such files.
Many thanks for Mindforger, it looks great!
