I do care a lot as is it essential for Chinese user to have a software able to read and write utf8 and gb2312 encoding without any issue. It seems QGis Master already mostly solved the issues I met with QGis 1.8, but I willing to help to make QGis 2.0 better in this aspect. What is the exact format needed for the test files?

Hi All, As most of us know, QGIS 1.8 and 1.9 *in fact doesn't support Shapefiles* with encodings other than Latin-1. Assuming that all recent QGIS versions use GDAL 1.9, *the last usable version was 1.7.3* (at least for windows users in Poland). Thanks to the 'ignore shapefile encoding' workaround, QGIS built against GDAL 1.9 is at least able to open other encodings, however, the 'Save layer as' action still creates corrupted files unless you know how to trick the encoding selector as well as the layer creating options. From my point of view it's just an *incredible regression*, as QGIS just doesn't support Shapefiles in most languages for a year or so. If there is anybody else interested in bringing back support for at least UTF-8 and cp12xx in QGIS 2.0 pleeeease join me ;)) and review the pull request: https://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS/pull/492#issuecomment-16282081 Maybe someone have a better solution? Maybe someone can provide the test files Jürgen suggested? I don't believe nobody cares whether QGIS 2.0 supports not Latin-1 Shapefiles or not. _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
