[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54607] Native (KDE) open/save dialogs are not used

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #54607 (project octave):

Maybe we could add a menu entry "Convert to UTF-8..." (or whatever the current
encoding is) that would open a dialogue from which the user could choose the
source encoding (maybe with heuristics).
But that doesn't feel very streamlined.

Alternatively, we could display a dialogue if the heuristics detect a
different encoding that advices the user to convert the file with external
tools.

Or we could leave it up to the user entirely to find that something is odd and
convert the text encoding with an external tool.

What do editors in other IDEs do?
