Hi, please, can anyone tell me what default encoding QGIS uses when loading a Shapefile? In my QGIS 2.14.7 on Windows 7 64bit "Ignore shapefile encoding declaration" is checked, so if I load a Shapefile with a corresponding utf-8-cpg-file using "drag and drop" it is encoded as 'system' and the encoding is wrong (what encoding is 'system'?). If I load a Shapefile with a corresponding utf-8-cpg-file using "Add Vector Layer" it is encoded as 'utf-8' and the encoding is fine. In both cases I can change the data source encoding in the properties dialog.
Is it possible to change the behavior of drag and drop to use utf-8 If I uncheck "Ignore shapefile encoding declaration" and load the shapefile either using "Add Vector Layer" or drag and drop the cpg-file is interpreted correctly and the encoding is set to utf-8. But now I cannot change the data source encoding in the properties dialog anymore. I think it should still be possible to change the encoding in the properties dialog. Peter
