Padding at the end of models .ini files was created by ethernode
Hello,

Newbie here; i noticed that there is some zero padding in the end of ini files that is apparently being added by deviationtx itself when editing a model; while i don't really care, it makes gedit not happy at all (trying to guess the character encoding of this null padding). Out of curiosity, why is it happening ? Is there any way to avoid it ?

This is normal.
I could not find a way for Gedit to open them directly without the warning. It depends on the editor... Notepad++ in Windows does not have a problem with the trailing nulls.

I actually solved the issue with my utility here . It trims the nulls prior to opening the INI file.
