 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.
