Title:
  [request] IDE: normalize indentation according to preference settings
  when loading a script

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This request is based on the linked question.

  
  **** problem description / workaround

  -indentation tabs are not handled at the time a script is loaded into
  the IDE, only when editing a script in the IDE. Or more generally:
  when loading a script, indentation is not normalized according to the
  current settings in the IDE's preferences.

  - So you might come up, with a situation, that a loaded script does
  not conform to the current tab settings and things get messed up, when
  you start editing.

  - A workaround would be, to change all tabs to the required spaces in
  a capable editor directly in the .py files with search-and-replace
  before loading the script into the IDE

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

  So when loading a script, the user should get a warning, when the
  script's indentation does not conform to the current settings.

  Options to be implemented and presented together with the warning:
  - change preferences according to script's situation
  - change script's indentation according to the preferences
  - switch off indentation support for this script
