in QGIS 2.4, when I use Add Vector Layer to open a shapefile, the dialog
forces selection of an encoding. I see no option for "auto detect". Then
this encoding is used, and a cpg file attached to the shapefile is
ignored.
Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?
The "auto detect" option is hidden in Settings, Options, Data Sources,
[ ] Ignore shapefile encoding declaration
which is set by default, meaning auto detect is disabled. Weird.
When this feature was introduced in GDAL/OGR some time ago, we got a lot
of complaints because OGR and QGIS both tried to do the encoding. So it
was decided to let QGIS do the job (as it was before), and ignore the
new encoding possibilites of OGR unless the user wishes to do so.
