Decker on Windows: Error when creating new (empty) slide-deck.md using Explorer and/or e.g. VSCode
When creating a new text file for a deck using the Windows Explorer (context menu -> new -> text file) or using e.g. the new file command of VisualStudio Code, Decker fails with an encoding-related error (will provide exact error).
I guess this is because Decker expects some encoding, but Windows defaults to another when creating a text file.
Copying the example-deck.md
from decker example
and replacing its contents works.
I know that this is - in a way - a user error, yet it is not easy to create files with the correct encoding on Windows.
To support the user, I suggest e.g. a decker create deck-name
command that adds a deck-name-deck.md
at the current path, with some sample metadata in the correct encoding?
