I think it would be useful to be able to set different file encoding for different projects. I do some work in iso-8859-2 and some in utf-8 and sometimes having to switch default encoding every time or using the open dialog with different encoding is a nightmare.

we'll do it per-directory and per-file.
For example if a specific encoding is set for the project's root, it will have an effect until another encoding is specified for a file or for a directory below.

Anything achieving this sounds good (:

I guess this will affect local files but what about ftp? If the encoding was assigned to a project then automatically the program could apply the encoding to remote directory specified in project properties.

LEt's wait for the next major release

Same probs with encoding in projects, I've just lost many data becouse I forgot change default encoding.

But as many of us I'm waiting for next release.
