All of those suggestions just hinder my workflow I'm afraid. Maybe I should
better explain what the most important things for me are here:

- I do not want to be warned everytime I open an ANSI file that it contains
invalid UTF-8 codepoint. That just slows down my 
work.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In this case don't set UTF-8 as favourite

- I do not want the codepage for those legacy ANSI files to be autodetected, as
Chinese or Japanese characters don't have the same width as e.g. all characters
in Windows-1252. 
For me it's not a big matter if DOS ANSI characters are not decoded correctly
(in my mind I can pretty much map the incorrect characters anyway), but if the
formatting of tables breaks because some characters get turned into Chinese
glyphs, it's rather annoying.

Open Settings in the Code page menu and uncheck all unnecessary code pages

- All of that I want without having to manually reopen a file with a different
encoding.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1) Set ANSI or 1252 as your favourite code page.
2) If you create mostly UTF-8 files, set UTF-8 as default CP for new files - in
project settings, if you use project or in the program settings / Files
3) Use some accented chars in your UTF-8 no BOM files in comment to allow
correct autodetection
4) If you want to improve autodetection (I aske you about it already), send me
some files what are not autodetected correctly. I need to analyze what causes
worng autodetection.
