[REQUEST] Let API TextFile support encoding

[finscn]

When I set a custom property with Chinese on windows , it doesn't use unicode/utf8, so , the char is wrong.

I hope the API about TextFile could support set encoding

There is https://www.mapeditor.org/docs/scripting/classes/textfile.html#codec, does that help?

Can you provide a bit more context? Is something broken regarding encoding in Tiled, or just in your extension plugin?

how to set codec ?

"utf8" , "utf-8" , "UTF8" "UTF-8" ....

I think there should be more examples and informations .

I agree. For now, you can find a list of supported encodings here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextcodec.html#details

But, it will change once Tiled is built against Qt 6, then only these will be supported: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qstringconverter.html#Encoding-enum
