"Move Type To File" should preserve encoding for a new file

created 9 years ago

[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T384053: Refactor Move Type to File and starting comment]
I've been pleasantly surprised to discover that the Move Type to File refactoring now also copies the // comments found at the very beginning of the source file. Thank you for that!

However, if the source file has this encoding:

Unicode (UTF-8 with signature) [see attached image]

the comment won't be copied over to the new file. I suppose you are not properly handling the fact that the file starts with a UTF-8 BOM .
Use the File > Advanced Save Options to set the encoding appropriately.

And it would also be nice if the new file would also use the same encoding as the original source file.
