Hi All,<br>
<br>
As most of us know, QGIS 1.8 and 1.9 *in fact doesn't support Shapefiles* with<br>
encodings other than Latin-1. Assuming that all recent QGIS versions use GDAL<br>
1.9, *the last usable version was 1.7.3* (at least for windows users in<br>
Poland). Thanks to the 'ignore shapefile encoding' workaround, QGIS built<br>
against GDAL 1.9 is at least able to open other encodings, however, the 'Save<br>
layer as' action still creates corrupted files unless you know how to trick the<br>
encoding selector as well as the layer creating options.<br>
<br>
>From my point of view it's just an *incredible regression*, as QGIS just<br>
doesn't support Shapefiles in most languages for a year or so. If there is<br>
anybody else interested in bringing back support for at least UTF-8 and cp12xx<br>
in QGIS 2.0 pleeeease join me ;)) and review the pull request:<br>

<br>
Maybe someone have a better solution? Maybe someone can provide the test files<br>
Jürgen suggested? I don't believe nobody cares whether QGIS 2.0 supports not<br>
Latin-1 Shapefiles or not.<br>
