Text preview bug & PowerToys compatibility

Post by SamRohod »

Thanks for the great tool.

I noticed that there is wrong rendering of the text "t™ " in the preview window of Everything. I have attached the file.
I use Everything v1.4.1.1026 (x64) on Windows 10.
Also, I have Microsoft PowerToys installed. I thought to mention that because sometimes when I preview files (many text files in this case) in Everything, the task "PowerToys.MonacoPreviewHandler" appears in the taskbar and has to be closed manually

Thank you for the issue report SamRohod,

It looks like the Microsoft PowerToys preview handler is not picking this file up as UTF-8.
Does Windows Explorer show the same preview as Everything?

Everything 1.5 should help with the "PowerToys.MonacoPreviewHandler" window showing.



Please try adding a UTF-8 BOM to your txt file.

Sorry for the late reply.

You are absolutely right. Windows Explorer preview shows the same problem.
I have opened an issue in the PowerToys github page [Here]
