Hi Andrew,
Please don't implement this by popping up a dialog from inside of the
importer/exporter classes themselves. This is not the right thing to do. This
code won't get committed, which is unfortunate because I'd really like to see
this functionality in Abi.
Please extend the native platform open dialog to insert some sort of checkbox or
something that says "save encoded". If that checkbox is active after closing the
dialog (back in ap_EditMethods.cpp) pop up another dialog (after the open/save
dialog is closed) which then shows "UTF-8, UCS2, CP-1252, ...". If you want to
know how to extend the windows open/save dialog, look at the code in
src/af/xap/win/xap_Win32Dlg_FileOpenSaveAs.cpp (and probably some rc file too)
because we do this already to do picture previews in the dialog.
Keep up the good work,
Dom
