Carriage Return Option

[Rutakate97]

It would be nice for Windows users, if files could be saved with a "carriage return" character before the "line feed" character. I found out that .http has them, but .css and .js do not. While it doesn't bring much functionality to "Brackets" itself, I think it would be a nice adittion.

@Rutakate97 Brackets will preserve whatever line endings the file already has, so it you open a file with CRLF (Windows-style) line endings, it should save the file with CRLF line endings too. But if your file already has LF line endings (Max/Linux-style), Brackets won't convert them to CRLF for you. (Someone could write an extension do let you convert it, though).

If you make a new file from scratch in Brackets, it should use whatever line endings are the default on your platform, meaning CRLF if you're on Windows. But due to bug #9179, new Untitled documents will have the wrong line endings on Windows for now. To work around that, you can use right-click > New in the file tree instead.

Closing, since I think that covers it -- but please reopen if you think you're seeing a different problem (e.g. if Brackets is erroneously changing an existing file's line endings).
