Change files' encoding recursively on Windows?

Question

Does anybody know a tool, preferably for the Explorer context menu, to recursively change the encoding of files in a project from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 and other encodings? Fr

Answer 1

I know this answer is late-coming, but here are two commandline apps to convert encoding. Just make a batch-file wrapper for one, and add it to your * key in the registry.

I used the stringconvertor by adding it as a button in my file-manager, FreeCommanderXE. It only converts one file at a time, but I can click on one, and push the convert button, then click on the next.
