Manage encoding files by extension of filenames

[FrancisFaure]

Hello "VS Code" team,

• I do a language extension for "VS Code",
  (https://github.com/FrancisFaure/vfp_tmlanguage_generator)
  (Visual FoxPro)
• I search a setting for the "codepage" on file extensions files (.PRG) on "Windows 1252" and not "UTF-8" by default
• I try (without succes to add "files.encoding": "windows1252" in "package.json"
• "VS Code" website say :
  users can change all codepage "globally" or codepage on "workspace"
  (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics#_file-encoding-support)

But in the same directory we can have files in utf8 and others in "Western" (Windows 1252) codepage

I tried to add "files.encoding": "windows1252" in my language pack (package.json) without success..

I googled without solutions

sorry for my bad english

With best regards
Francis

Currently you can only configure encoding per workspace folder.

Thank for the quick answer...
Have you plan to manage encoding files by extension of filenames ?
with by example add property "files.encoding" in file "package.json" of VS Code extension language.
Because same folder could have files encoded 1252 and others utf8

please,
have you planned an VSCode update for allow add "files.encoding": "windows1252" in extension language package.json file?
or a way for open files by extension of filenames encoded 1252 and not utf8 (we need to open *.PRG files in 1252)
Thanks

Any news for files.encoding in extention API or by fileext ?
On my project 3 different encodings in over 1000 files.
And reopen the file each time - just killing me...
Please schedule this feature..;(
