This message is confusing.
The 2 files have different encoding - clear enough.
But, I am always confused what Slick is asking me here - I never know what I should pick - very confusing.
+1: Even though there is no "help" button, hitting F1 in this dialog jumps to "Encoding" in the help file!
#1:
So what is it asking?
Which file is "your file"?
What the encoding is of ping, or pong?
#2:
Since the "Encoding" drop down includes a zillion choices, what if I pick something like "US-ASCII":
Are both files converted to US-ASCII before the conversion?
Empirically: Seem to convert Pong.txt to US-ASCII, then does the comparison in unicode??
#3:
Since Slick knows ping.txt is unicode, why does it need to ask me what encoding to convert to?
Can't it simply do the conversion?
File Encoding
C:\src\ping.txt is a unicode file and C:\src\pong.txt is not.
C:\src\pong.txt must be temporarily converted to a unicode file.
Select the current Unicode encoding of your file so the other file can be converted to the same Unicode format and compared.
