Feature request: quickly switch between EOL format

[asandler]

When switching between Windows<->Unix files, it is very useful to have an option to save the file with different EOL style. This option is already available via Save As->Line format, but I wish there was something more handy - to change EOL format for already existing file you gotta go to do save-as, change line format in save as dialog, locate original file and confirm that you want to overwrite it.

Ideally this should be a sub-menu in Document menu with three options in it - each option corresponds to certain EOL format. This will make converting between different formats much easier - choose right format and save.

Thanks!

If you don't mind using the command line you can use the save command with the following options:

+FU Save file in UNIX ASCII format (Lines ending with just 10 character). The buffer is modified if the output file name matches the buffer name.

+FD Save file in DOS ASCII format (Lines ending with 13,10). The buffer is modified if the output file name matches the buffer name.

+FM Save file in Macintosh ASCII format (Lines ending with just 13 character). The buffer is modified if the output file name matches the buffer name.

If you want to automate it, you can add a customized ICON to your menu bar that will automatically issue either "save +FU" or "save +FD".

Seems this is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks a lot!
