How to configure codeset option for leafpad?

[jazzi]

Hi,

Code: Select all

#leafpad --codeset=zh_CN-utf8 filename

Above command can show the file correctly

And how to write the codeset option to ~/.config/leafpad/leafpadrc or other configuration file

That I do not have to input the codeset option everytime.

Thanks
jazzi

What are you trying to do or rather what do you want to do? It seems like I walked in on the middle of your conversation.

Hi Rex,

Thanks for your link but no answer there.

I am trying to configure the leafpad with codeset=zh_CN-utf8 permanently but don't know where & How to write down this configuration.

Ok, I find the solution.

edit leafpad.desktop and add codeset=zh_CN-utf8 to Exec=leafpad %f

the procedure is as follows:

1, copy /usr/share/applications/leafpad.desktop to .local/share/applications/
2, edit the following line within leafpad.desktop

Exec=leafpad --codeset zh_CN-utf8 %f

By the way the FAQ of wiki.lxde.org is great, recommend take a look at there firstly.
