Thanks...
I have done exactly that, how can I get a list of valid "codec" names to put in
a combo box, so that the user can select one?
What I do to set the codec, is the following
QTextCodec * codec = QTextCodec::codecForName( codecName );
if ( codec )
QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale( codec );

The last line here will error out saying that you're converting from QByteArray
to QString.
Whenever you do that, you need to tell what codec to use.
If your next question is "how do I detect the encoding of a file", the answer
is that you don't. Detecting the encoding is a guessing scenario. Certain libs
have a good guess ratio, but it's still a guess.
If you must *know* the encoding, you should add the drop-down combobox to your
open dialog, or you have to add a menu to change the encoding (and reload the
file).
