I have problems with UNIX vs DOS line endings. [message #22949]

For some months I figured out that line endings do change according to where I edit the text file, if I edit in Kubuntu, I get the file converted wholly to unix-like endlines, if I edit it later in WinXP, I get it converted back to DOS-like endlines.

While this doesn't pose any problem to the file usage, it confuses KSVN (SVN GUI I use in Kubuntu). I would prefer TheIDE to read the newline type from opened file, and stick to it (unless it has mixed line-endings, then it's IMHO fine to automatically convert it to current native one.
It's just very minor annoyance, because I can use unix2dos and dos2unix to convert it back, but still having this "fixed" would save me couple of seconds daily.

Hello Ped

I use almost daily in parallel the same packages in Ubuntu (Gnome) and in WinXP, always UTF8 encoded, and I have no problems with line endings.

Going to the extreme: I have compiled under WinXP the same package at the same time in Portable Ubuntu (GNU/Linux Ubuntu 8.04 emulator) and in WinXP ( Very Happy

) without any problem.

Best regards
Koldo

There's no problem to compile them (actually those are .php files so they are not compiling anyway, but apache+php5 parses them easily and everything works as expected).

The problem is the the file gets converted when I edit it.
I.e. I take test.php with 2 lines from DOS with DOS-like "\r\n", write third line under linux, and the line endings in whole get converted to UNIX-like "\n".

Actually I do think the SVN itself does not care about that (but I didn't check manual), but the KSVN shows me the files as different.

Hi,

SVN itself does not know about the meaning of line endings, but of course it cares about file differences (which it should I suppose).

I also have the same problem as Ped when working with version control. If I modify a checked out file that has DOS line endings in Unix with TheIDE all line endings are converted to Unix line endings. As a consequence when I make a diff of my modified version and the original one, all lines are marked modified which is not practical since I only want to see (and also check in my modifications).
