AnyEdit can show the whitespace (tabs vs spaces) in editors and may use custom project settings for tab to spaces auto-convert-on-save feature.
AnyEdit can perform tabs to spaces conversion on multiple files or entire directories and supports also file exclusion filter for tabs to spaces action.
AnyEdit can automatically remove trailing whitespaces or perform tabs to spaces conversions on save in all text-based editors, even in editors which are not directly supported by AnyEdit context menu actions.
AnyEdit adds "Save All", "Open File" and "Show whitespace in editor" buttons to the toolbar and can remove the "Print" button from it.
AnyEdit adds "Open File", "Open Type" and "Save to file..." actions to supported output consoles and "Save to file..." toolbar button to the Console view.
