    Description

      On one hand, the "Clean whitespace" feature is extremely useful. On the other hand, for certain files (e.g. containing tab-separated lists), a whitespace cleanup can be fatal.

      The problem could be alleviated in one of several way:

      • Allow exceptions based on file extension
      • Make a separate "Clean whitespace" setting in the C++ section (much like is currently done with indentation) - that way, I could have source files that are clean and nice, and other files that remain exactly as opened.
      • Create a "leave trailing tabs" option (I have yet to find a use case where trailing spaces are needed - but I could be wrong)
