Hello,
I got a little problem with txt editor.
When I open txt created with android TCM in windows notepad, it shows whole txt in one line.
i.e., I create txt with 10 lines and when I transfer it to the PC I see all text in one line in notepad. No matter if I choose UTF-8 or not. Why ? How can I change this ? Thanks.

This is due to the fact, that Android is Linux like.
This means a line break is just LineFeed (LF) while Windows uses CarrigeReturn and LineFeed (CR LF) for this purpose.

Simple Notepad cannot handle this correctly.
Use at least Wordpad or a real editor like notepad++ to display it correctly.
