Node-Webkit Append/Write file Linebreak

Problem Description

When Writing or Appending a file using Node-Webkit, newline seems to be ignored when the exported file is opened in notepad, it however works for other text editors i.e notepad++ or wordpad, its still an issue since i would assume notepad is the most common text editor since its a default.

With Javascript \n is acceptable for newline on most nix systems, but windows insists on \r\n

Couldnt upload Capx, kept saying "The uploaded file is empty"

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• On Start of Layout > NodeWebKit:WriteFile > Path: nodewebkit.appfolder & "example.txt" Contents: "Line 1" & newline & "Line 2" & newline & "Line 3"
• Export to Node-Webkit
• run executable
• open example.txt with notepad

Observed Result

The text shows as:

Line1Line2Line3

Expected Result

The text should show as:

Line1

Line2

Line3

Closing as won't fix: by design newline is just a \n character, whereas Windows is old and crusty and wants to see \r\n in some tools like notepad. I think it would be best just to use a different tool like notepad++ which understands these line endings. We could add a feature to add carriage returns in to strings, but I think that would just cause other compatibility issues, since for example nix systems will not want to see the \r characters.
