I agree that there is apparently not much of a problem. However, I also stand by "no more dialogs" unless they are in a clearly-identified class/method/state that is known to interact with the user. Squeak has *far* too much forced and unexpected interaction, and we must not go back down that road.
Which is why I asked initially whether you encountered this when using a tool (ie file browser etc.), or custom code. For tools when you have no way to set one encoding which will be correct for all cases, it might be a better behaviour to open a dialogue where one can be selected instead of raising a DNU, if a GUI is present.
Those things said, there might be room to grow, as someone suggested the possibility of automatically detecting the coding.
Then they were wrong. Cheers, Henry
