I'm using Plasma, so I'll do a test build with the referenced PR. I'll even 
make a PR for the Flathub package so that the Flathub bot will build a package 
for others to easily test as well.

In my personal opinion, I think that the functionality that is added to the GTK 
file chooser is not worth very much. You can change the encoding and the 
filetype after opening a file, and for people who dislike GTK's file chooser, 
having to deal with that just to get those two features--and a lot of folks 
won't even use them *at all*--is very much not worth it. So I like how the 
referenced pull request is looking, especially since it does provide an option 
so people can make that decision. I'm sure there are some users, even on 
non-GTK environments, who will prefer to decide a file's encoding and filetype 
*before* opening the file.

This will be helpful even on GNOME; they already have a LibAdwaita-based file 
chooser, and they're working on a Nautilus-based file chooser. This will likely 
serve as guidance for other GTK-based environments to create file choosers 
based on their primary file managers.
