Description Marian Petras 2007-01-15 08:56:25 UTC

When a .properties file is about to be opened and its content cannot be decoded
with the current encoding, show a warning dialog and allow the user to choose a
different encoding.

Comment 1 Marian Petras 2007-04-26 14:40:30 UTC

Now that issue #32392 ("Edit Text Rather than Escape Sequences") is fixed,
everything is encoded using a pure ASCII characters and \uxxxx sequences - see
also issue #75906 ("Add support for other encodings (other than ISO-8859-1)").
