[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Failure to open correctly files with cyrillic encoding (#1429)

[elextr]

> Not unfold as a submenu, like now, but pop up as the list of plugins when you select Tools -> Plugins. It brings up the list of all installed plugins but it's not important whether it fits on a small laptop screen because it has a find-as-you-type field, where you type a part of the name of the plugin you want and then select it. If you had to select a plugin from a menu it would be a nightmare. Why not give one the possibility to select encoding in such a way too? Or for that matter the file type too (Document -> "Set file type"). There are a lot of file types and they are also grouped into submenus which makes it tedious to get to any exact file type.

Ok, makes more sense, but somebody has to do it.  

> "Recode file" near to "Set encoding" I would have immediately looked there. It just seems logical from a common user point of view.

The `Document` menu is for the document, the thing in memory, not the file on disk.  Nothing in the document menu relates to the file, and as I said, we cannot re-code the document in memory. 

`Reload` is in the `File` menu because it is a file operation.

It does not make sense (IMHO) to mix the two concepts, the document and the file.
