Hi Lieven,

Yes, I suppose that some kind of autodetection would be helpful. But note t=
hat=20
there are some problems too. For example if all input files use some encodi=
ng=20
and while editing some characters are inserted that are not supported by th=
at=20
encoding. Before saving this would have to be detected and the user must be=
=20
informed. Similar if different encodings are used in the merged input files.

But I will investigate ...

Cheers,
Joachim
