Changeset

stores the most recently used files together with the related encoding. Closing the report.

Next changeset regarding file encoding is
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ed770c16a3e8
which stores the encodings together with each file of the last editor session in order to correctly load the file at next startup.

The next changeset will focus on storing the encodings of the files in the mru list.

provides the possibility to select an encoding when opening a file. After some reading I am reluctant regarding an automatic detection since this is mostly guessing.

allows to select an encoding during save-file-as and displays the current encoding in the status bar. I am leaving the bug report open since further changesets for encoding detection (guessing) and for changing the encoding without save-file-as are in work.

As pointed out in "GUI Editor should use ANSI text encoding under Windows" there may be file encoding issues.

Rather than force a specific encoding, I have a better suggestion : the GUI editor should give the user the choice of encoding as it done on Geany (and many other editor I guess ...). The current encoding should also appear (for exemple in status bar).

Besides, it would be a feature that Matlab does not seem to offer !
