Description Michael Osipov 2006-03-11 19:04:28 UTC 
I found a missing feature in OOo.

Trying to open some txt file in Writer you will be prompted to choose the proper
 encoding for this file if the file has been properly encoded if not Writer
doesn't even ask and you're done with question marks. This works perfect as long
as you know which encoding has been used. If you don't know it happens that you
have to open this file several times til you hit the proper encoding. This is
*really* annoying.

Word offers a realtime preview which is very convenient.
Same does OOo when you try to import a csv.
I think the code should be just reused.

I suppose that this happens in OOo 2.0.x too.

Any news? Is it really hard to make this dialog? If no - please think about
fixing this RFE, better till OOo 3.0. And set the target please: this issue
exists more than 1,5 years and still without the target.
