Problem
After updating R to 4.3.2 version, I started to face encoding issues, especially with Quarto type documents. These problems didn't occur before the update.
For some reason that I don't know what is, it seems that these type of files aren't rendering anymore with encoding other than UTF-8 (at least in my machine after the update). The problem is that almost all my files are encoded in ISO-8859-1. So I'm stuck in a situation where even though I can correctly read a file in the source editor, it can't correctly render a markdown-based Quarto document.
What I've leanerd from this journey
I tried to change RStudio default encoding to UTF-8 but it messes up all my files in ISO-8859-1 - for example altering words like 'famílias' to 'fam?lias'. Then I noted that, to change one specific file from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, I actually needed to take it and 'Save with encoding' in UTF-8 and then change the default RStudio encoding to UTF-8.
Question
Given this problem, and given that from what I've read it seems like it's not good coding practice to keep files encoded inISO-8859-1, I feel inclined to change them. So my question is: how can I transfer all my files that are encoded in ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 without necessarily doing it one by one manually? I apologize in advance for any misconception done!
