I am using IrfanView 4.57 64-bit.
Doing a lot of bulk operations lately. Adding text to images via bulk operations form works fine using the "Set for all images..." dialog. Checking "Add overlay text" there and hitting the "Settings" button opens the "Add overlay text to image" dialog. There in the "Text" field UTF-8 characters can be used and are added to the image flawlessly. I am using ALT-31 (Arrow down). However, trying to save the bulk settings from the "Set for all images..." dialog using the "Save settings" button saves an ini-file which still doesn't support UTF-8, unfortunately. So when re-loading the bulk settings using the "Load settings" button the saved ini-file is loaded fine, the UTF-8 chars get replaced by a question mark.
Adding UTF-8 support for that bulk settings ini-file is highly appreciated and shouldn't be too hard to achieve :-)
Thanks!
