I am using VS-2019 and just updated to 16.3.3.

Now the resource editor changes the encoding of my RC files from codepage 1252 to UTF-8. The problem is, that I have tools that need to touch and translate the RC files. This tools can't handle UTF-8 encoded files.

Is there a way to prevent that VS-2019 changes the encoding of the file?

I already filed a problem for this.

  • Apparently this is a known issue : https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/756433/converting-resource-files-rc-to-utf8-in-mfc-projec.html – Jabberwocky Oct 10 '19 at 11:10
  • Yes found the first issue: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/757607/automatic-ansi-rc-file-conversion-to-utf8-not-want.html – xMRi Oct 10 '19 at 11:29
  • Is this still an issue ? I'm using VS 16.11.8 and my resources get converted, so I can't use the resource editor. – Max Jan 11 '22 at 13:56
