Description
A vector dataset of mine has non-ascii characters é è à etc. In the database table I got the error: Unable to decode value. Set encoding in GUI Preferences ('Attributes').
This is a helpful message but in the GUI dialog there are no suggestions as to what encoding formats are accepted. Perhaps there could be a couple of suggestions (eg. utf-8, ascii, iso8859-1, koi8-r) to give the user a hint. Perhaps as a mouse-over, or a link to a help page on accepted encodings.

Probably more serious problem: this variable is global. It would be good to have option to choose if the encoding is global, workspace or layer-related. Martin
