Micro opens DOS format files as UNIX format

Open mdnava opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

  • The option "fileformat": "dos" is correctly set in <settings.json>.
  • When creating new files, Micro correctly creates and saves as DOS, and opens the same file as DOS.
  • But then, I open any file with the DOS format (CRLF) and it's actually opened as UNIX, and saved as UNIX.
  • Micro doesn't seem to correctly recognize CRLF.

2021-11-02 20 46 05 2021-11-02 20 46 08

However, after the previous test I added a fifth empty line and Micro now sees the file correctly as DOS:

2021-11-02 20 47 13 2021-11-02 20 47 35

So.. Micro seems to only recognize and save to the DOS format if there's a CRLF at the end, an empty line. But this is a problem.. I've tried about a dozen of scripts and it almost always wrongfully sets the UNIX format. In fact, I noticed this after Micro had changed a bunch of files I had been working on, changing them to the UNIX format.
