====== Configure 'meld' to Support Different Encodings or Character Sets ======

The encodings to be automatically detected can be configureed by setting the gsettings key **''detect-encodings''** for the wanted encodings.


\\
On **Linux**, run this command once:

<codedoc code>
gsettings set org.gnome.meld detect-encodings "['UTF-8', 'WINDOWS-1252', 'ISO-8859-15', 'UTF-16']"
</codedoc>


\\
On **Windows**, this can be done by via a string parameter of the registry key **''HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GSettings\org\gnome\meld''**.

Edit or add a new string parameter **''detect-encodings''** with the approvriate value, e.g. **''['WINDOWS-1251', 'UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-15', 'UTF-16']''**.
