Can you send me the file from the reverted commit so I can have a look at it and see why it is opened with the wrong encoding?

Did you try to use "Reopen with Encoding" from the File menu to open it as UTF-8?

Here's a copy of my email response:

I plan to add regular expression search as well as "Find in Files" in a future update.

Thanks for your detailed description of how you'd like to see multi document search implemented!

Actually, Sublime Text, TextMate 2 and TextWrangler all use Cmd-N instead of Cmd-T. Even Xcode uses Cmd-N to create a new file and Cmd-T to create a new workspace tab.

I'll consider adding it as an additional shortcut.

Ah, ok, I see :)

I'll look into it.

What I don't understand is this part: " (and lose my carefully configured workspace layout) "

Textastic should restore all windows, their positions, sidebar content and open tabs/files when it is restarted.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll think about it.

Well, the alert has three buttons: Yes, No, Always - if you press "Always", the warning won't come up again and it will be disabled in settings.

Warning on "Download Latest" is actually the default behavior. Maybe you disabled the warning? You can re-enable the warning on the bottom of the settings screen.

Do you have any idea why this happened? Can you reproduce the problem? The crash reports should be in ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ - can you send them to me?

Mac OS X saves the application state in the folder ~/Library/Containers/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac/Data/Library/Saved Application State/com.textasticapp.textastic-mac.savedState

Deleting that folder would probably have fixed the issue.
