[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#447699: kid3: Allow configuration of default charset for new tags

[Paulo Marcel Coelho Aragão]

Package: kid3
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: wishlist

First of all I'd like to thank you for maintaining this extremely useful
and handy software. The import/export facilities are not matched by any
tagging software I know of. Second, thank you for being so responsive to
requests. I reported a bug in the past and I was amazed at how quickly
it was solved and went live.

This is just a suggestion. I noticed that new tags are always created
with charset ISO-8859-1. It would be useful to be able to choose the
default charset for new tags. Or, at least, to get it from the current
system locale. My current locale is:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

but new tags I create always come out with ISO-8859-1 charset.

Thanks again
Paulo
