PR Checklist

  • Functionality has been tested, no obvious bugs
  • Code style follows project conventions
  • Documentation/comments updated (if applicable)

Brief Description of Changes

  • The text preview can be edited and saved (Ctrl+S, or "Save" in the More menu). Cut and Paste are added to the context menu while editing, and closing or replacing the preview with unsaved edits asks whether to save them.
  • Escape inside the text only leaves the editor (hides the caret); the next Escape (or Space) acts on the preview again. The view exposes HasUnsavedChanges and ConsumeEscape(), which the preview window reads by reflection (see the keyboard PR of this series) so Space/Escape don't close it while edits are pending.
  • A Background entry in the More menu cycles through six dark-theme background presets (light to black); the choice is stored in the plugin's BackgroundColor setting, documented in OPTIONS.md.
  • New strings (Editor_Cut, Editor_Paste, MW_SaveText, MW_SaveChangesPrompt, MW_Background*) are added to all 29 languages of the plugin's Translations.config, as the repository guidelines require.

Related Issue (if any)

None.

Additional Notes

  • Builds cleanly against current master (MSBuild, Release). No automated tests.
  • The translations other than English and Spanish are new and were not reviewed by native speakers; corrections are welcome.
  • Works on its own; the Space/Escape integration only takes effect together with the keyboard PR of this series.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Edit eligible text files directly in the preview, save changes with Ctrl+S, and choose whether to save unsaved edits when closing or switching files.
    • Use the Background menu to cycle through colors in dark theme, including custom configured colors.
  • Improvements
    • Preview windows now adjust their height to the available screen space.
    • Editing is disabled for files that exceed supported size or text limits.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for configuring the dark-theme background color.

- The text preview can be edited and saved (Ctrl+S, or "Save" in the More
  menu). Cut and Paste are added to the context menu while editing, and
  closing or replacing the preview with unsaved edits asks whether to
  save them.
- Escape inside the text only leaves the editor (hides the caret); a
  second Escape closes the preview. The view exposes HasUnsavedChanges
  and ConsumeEscape() so the preview window can keep Space/Escape from
  closing it while edits are pending.
- A "Background" entry in the More menu cycles through six dark-theme
  background presets (light to black); the choice is stored in the
  plugin's BackgroundColor setting, documented in OPTIONS.md.
- New strings (Editor_Cut, Editor_Paste, MW_SaveText, MW_SaveChangesPrompt
  and the MW_Background* set) are present in every language of the
  plugin's Translations.config. The non-English/Spanish translations are
  new and could use a native-speaker review.

Walkthrough

TextViewer adds editing and save support for eligible files, save prompts for dirty changes, and configurable dark-theme backgrounds. It also adds localized editor and background controls, documents the background setting, and adjusts the preferred preview height.

Changes: TextViewer Updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Editor loading and edit eligibility
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/TextViewerPanel.cs
The panel determines whether loaded text can be edited based on transfer status, file size, and line truncation. It tracks BOM data, adds Cut and Paste commands for writable text, and handles Escape from the focused editor.
Saving and close lifecycle
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/TextViewerPanel.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/Plugin.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/Plugin.MoreMenu.cs
Ctrl+S and the More menu expose saving. The panel writes dirty edits using the detected encoding and original BOM, and cleanup prompts before disposing of dirty content.
Background selection and viewer presentation
QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/TextViewerPanel.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/Plugin.MoreMenu.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/Plugin.cs, QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/Translations.config, OPTIONS.md
The More menu cycles through background presets, and the panel applies the configured color in dark highlighting mode. The preferred height changes to 85% of the work-area height, capped at 900. The option and new controls are documented and localized.

Suggested reviewers: emako, xupefei

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 0d64d

Editing and saving text files can lose or alter user data in several edge cases. A failed save at close discards the edits, a failed write can leave the original file empty, a save can overwrite changes made elsewhere, and legacy-encoded files can have characters silently replaced. Address these before merging.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 0d64d

The new save lifecycle has recoverability gaps: interrupted writes can damage the original file, and closing or replacing a preview discards pending edits even when saving fails. These risks concern the selected file and the application's existing filesystem access; the inspected paths did not establish a privilege-escalation or remote-execution path.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: The new save operation truncates the original file before writing its replacement contents. A failure after opening the file, or process interruption during writing, can leave the original truncated or partially overwritten. This save path creates no temporary replacement or recovery copy, so failure containment is weaker than the previous read-only behavior.
  • Medium · reliability · observed: Closing or replacing a dirty preview has no recoverable failure outcome. After the user chooses to save, Save catches write failures and leaves the buffer dirty, but PromptSaveIfDirty returns no outcome and Cleanup still disposes and releases the panel. The host unload contract likewise cannot veto unloading. An error is displayed, but pending edits are no longer available for retry through the preview.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated new mutation scope is the previewed file resolved by the stored path, subject to the process's existing filesystem permissions. The inspected save path provides no privilege elevation or bulk-write mechanism. Content integrity and recovery are the material consequences established here.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Conversion and truncation controls separate display-only content from editable content, and Save repeats the eligibility check. These controls reduce accidental persistence of deliberately incomplete previews; they do not verify that the path still identifies unchanged on-disk content when saving.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Failure containment is incomplete at both persistence and ownership boundaries: an interrupted direct overwrite can damage the original, and unload can remove the remaining editable buffer after a reported save failure. Error reporting alone does not provide rollback or a retryable terminal state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make persistence a recoverable commit: prepare replacement contents without truncating the original, use an appropriate atomic replacement strategy, and retain the dirty buffer until success or explicit discard. Introduce a save outcome and a host pre-unload decision so failure can preserve the editor instead of continuing cleanup.

succeeds. Preserve the original file if writing the temporary file fails.
- Line 271: Update Save() to detect whether _path has changed since the viewer
loaded it, and ask the user how to proceed before overwriting a conflicting
version. Keep the existing save flow when no external change is detected.
- Line 270: Update Save() to clone Encoding and set the clone’s EncoderFallback
to ExceptionFallback before converting Text with GetBytes. This must reject
unrepresentable edits rather than silently substituting characters, while
leaving the original Encoding unchanged.

Do not dispose a dirty editor after a failed save.

Save() catches the exception, displays the error, and returns no status. PromptSaveIfDirty() cannot detect failure, and Cleanup() disposes the editor unconditionally.

Cleanup() cannot cancel the host operation. IViewer.Cleanup() returns void, and UnloadPlugin() continues after calling it. Add a cancellable pre-cleanup hook, or move the prompt into the host close/replacement path. Return a failure result from Save() and PromptSaveIfDirty(), and abort unloading when saving fails.

# UTF Unknown

Detect character set for files, streams and other bytes.

Detection of character sets with a simple and redesigned interface.

This package is based on Ude and since version 2 also on uchardet, which are ports of the Mozilla Universal Charset Detector.

The interface and other classes has been resigned so it&#39;s easier to use and better object oriented design (OOD). Unit tests and CI has been added.

Features:

  * New API
  * Moved to .NET Standard
  * Added more unit tests
  * Builds on CI (GitHub Actions)
  * Strong named
  * Documentation added
  * Multiple bugs from Ude fixed

## Supported Platforms

  * .NET 6 (Will be dropped in the future)
  * .NET 8
  * .NET Standard 2.0

Remarks: You can still register your `EncodingProvider` so that the `Encoding.GetEncoding(...)` method first tries to find in it.

## Usage

Use the static detectX methods from `CharsetDetector`.

### Synchronous Methods
    
    // Detect from File 
    DetectionResult result = CharsetDetector.DetectFromFile(&quot;path/to/file.txt&quot;); // or pass FileInfo
    
    // Detect from Stream
    result = CharsetDetector.DetectFromStream(stream);
    
    // Detect from bytes
    results = CharsetDetector.DetectFromBytes(byteArray);
    
    // Get the best Detection
    DetectionDetail resultDetected = results.Detected;
    
    // Get the alias of the found encoding
    string encodingName = resultDetected.EncodingName;
    
    // Get the System.Text.Encoding of the found encoding (can be null if not available)
    Encoding encoding = resultDetected.Encoding;
    
    // Get the confidence of the found encoding (between 0 and 1)
    float confidence = resultDetected.Confidence;
    
    // Get all the details of the result
    IList&lt;DetectionDetail&gt; allDetails = result.Details;

### Asynchronous Methods
    
    // Detect from File asynchronously
    DetectionResult result = await CharsetDetector.DetectFromFileAsync(&quot;path/to/file.txt&quot;, cancellationToken); // or pass FileInfo
    
    // Detect from Stream asynchronously
    result = await CharsetDetector.DetectFromStreamAsync(stream, cancellationToken);

# Docs

The article &quot;A composite approach to language/encoding detection&quot; describes the charsets detection algorithms implemented by the library.

## The following charsets are supported

Encodings with BOM: `utf-7`, `utf-8`, `utf-16be`/`utf-16le`, `utf-32be`/`utf-32le`, `X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-34121`/`X-ISO-10646-UCS-4-21431`, `gb18030`.

Encodings without BOM are presented in the table, separated by languages:

Language  | Encodings
--- | ---
International (Unicode)  | `utf-8`
Arabic  | `iso-8859-6`, `windows-1256`
Bulgarian  | `iso-8859-5`, `windows-1251`

Reject edits that the detected encoding cannot represent.

UTF.Unknown supports legacy encodings such as Windows-1252. DoubleDetectFromResult can retain such an encoding or fall back to Encoding.Default. The default code-page fallback is non-throwing and can substitute unsupported characters. Save() then writes the substituted bytes and clears _isDirty.

Use EncoderFallback.ExceptionFallback before GetBytes, or provide an explicit encoding conversion.

Review comment at
@QuickLook.Plugin/QuickLook.Plugin.TextViewer/TextViewerPanel.cs at line 270:
Update Save() to clone Encoding and set the clone’s EncoderFallback to
ExceptionFallback before converting Text with GetBytes. This must reject
unrepresentable edits rather than silently substituting characters, while
leaving the original Encoding unchanged.

Write to a temporary file before replacing the original.

FileMode.Create truncates _path before the new content is written. If the write fails, Save() reports an error, but the original file can already be empty or incomplete. Write the complete content to a temporary file, then replace the original only after the write succeeds.

Update the save flow in TextViewerPanel so it writes the complete content to a
temporary file first, then replaces _path only after the write succeeds.
Preserve the original file if writing the temporary file fails.

Detect external file changes before saving.

The viewer reads the file with FileShare.ReadWrite, so another application can change it while this preview remains open. Save() then overwrites that newer content without checking whether _path still contains the version that was loaded. Check for a conflicting change and ask the user how to proceed before replacing the file.

Update Save() to detect whether _path has changed since the viewer loaded it,
and ask the user how to proceed before overwriting a conflicting version. Keep
the existing save flow when no external change is detected.
