[TxMt] feature-request: encoding per project setting

I have posted here before on the topic of encoding issues.

I still have problems with TextMate loading files as UTF8, although I  
have set latin1 as standard encoding in the prefs (I have disabled  
`use for existing files' though). This is particularly annoying since  
I have to manually save every file again just to check whether  
TextMate uses the correct encoding.

Thus I would propose to introduce a feature which sets the encoding  
globally for one project if the user wishes to. Just add a checkbox  
(one encoding for this project) and the same two options you have in  
the file save dialog box (encoding and linefeed). If a user still  
wants to create a file with a different encoding, he can still choose  
to do so in the file save dialog.

This feature would really help speed up my work since I *have to* use  
latin1 as standard encoding for LaTeX documents (it's what my co- 
workers use) and UTF8 for the webpages I create.

Thanks.

Max
