Maestro - Diff Confusion with encoding and whitespace

[crispinatime]

The "Diff" capability in Maestro is very powerful - but also slightly confusing on a couple of elements.

1) XML Encoding When opening a resource e.g. .LayerDefinition in XML mode I see the first line as:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

If I then edit the XML and use the Diff function it highlights the first line as red and says that the actual source was

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Implying the XML editor is stripping the encoding before showing the text XML and firing a dirty state

2) Whitespace If I have a vector .LayerDefinition resource with a filter, and add a space at the end of the filter when opened in XML mode then I would expect that line to be highlighted as different in the Diff viewer. It is not.

Neither element is major here, just some finesse if possible.

That's strange. I funnel both sides through XmlDocument objects first to normalize them both before doing the actual comparison. Must be some other settings that can be set.

Looks great - 100% - for the UI editor.

But not for XML editing.

But if I open any resource in XML mode and make any (including invalid schema) modifications then the "View Changes" diff shows nothing.

Fixed the generic XML editor portion in r8119
