Note that the flathub Geany package is not made by this project despite the "by Geany Team", note the "unverified" on it, so we have no control over what they do.

You can change the encoding and the filetype after opening a file,

The user can't change the encoding used to load the file after its loaded, that will have no effect, changes to encoding afterward are just for saving.

And having the wrong filetype may have significant effects as more filetype specific plugins are added, starting with LSPs real soon now.

So those options are important in specific cases. Of course they don't matter to users who are always UTF-8 and use the right extensions (eg not .h for C, ducks :-) but anyone can find an olde piece of code on the interwebs that they want to look at or use.

Thanks for the offer to test, let us know what the KDE chooser is.
