Default character encoding

Does anyone know how can I get Kate to _always_ open and save in ISO-8859-1? If I do 'Set encoding' when opening, and 'Save As' when saving, I can make it work, but it's tedious, and I keep corrupting our HTML files.

I open up an ISO-8859-1 encoded file (which Kate presumes is UTF-8), make a small edit to some PHP, and then save before noticing that the accents have all been mutilated. Bad!

In case it matters, I am using Redhat9.

Can anyone help?

As far as I know, Kate defaults to the locale encoding, so yours seems to be UTF-8.

You could try launching Kate with
LANG=en_us.ISO-8859-1 kate
(Of course instead of en_us use your preferred language. If it does not work set KDE_LANG instead.)

(If you are working in HTML, you could use UTF-8, you just need to correctly define it.)

Have a nice day!
