> Well ... what can we do?
The most expected improvement here is possibility for changing encoding for all 
files (means it also must be applyed for files which contain different encoding 
and some binary data)

The next most important improvement more fundamental.
It seems more logical not reopen entire file when you change the encoding. Be 
better if we would store a file in a binary representation and use the 
appropriate encoding on the fly when displaying the visible part. This would 
give ability change the encoding displayed part of file on the fly as quickly 
as possible without the need for reopening the file. It would be best improved.

Finally, fantastic improvement. If we would make improvements described in the 
paragraph above, it would be possible to store the displayed encoding for each 
line, which would be able to corect view all  *.patch files need only specify 
the encoding for content and for path separately.

P.S. Big thanks for workaround, but I hope you listen me and improve my 
favorite editor.
