Description aristerko 2008-11-03 20:51:55 UTC 
When I try to open a TXT file coded on Shift-Jis (Japanese), Openoffice shows it
like an ANSI file. A correct behaviour would be to autodetect the codification
and showing it correctly.

ishimura-san, do you think this is a bug? Just I Cc:'ed and never verified.
Thanks for your time!
Comment 5 naoyuki 2008-11-10 01:08:01 UTC 
Current behavior is the encoding of txt file is assumed platform default one.
So Shift-JIS txt file must be opened without problem in PCK/ShiftJIS locale of
Solaris/Linux
or Japanese Windows environment. If it's not, then it is a bug
I verified attached ShiftJIS file can be opened with StarSuite9 in PCK locale on
Solairs and 
Japanese Windows 2000/XP. We need to know more detailed info regarding platform
and using
OOo language environment.
Comment 6 aristerko 2008-11-10 01:48:31 UTC 
I was using didn't try on a japanese windows xp, but in the spanish version
(both O.S and OOo) it is like I said before.
Comment 7 naoyuki 2008-11-10 02:10:16 UTC 
Thanks aristerko for your environment info.
Nakata-san, it is not a bug but ENHANCEMENT request as current Type is suggested.
But I guess this enhancement may not be possible to implement as all of byte value
in ShiftJIS data are also valid as iso8859-1 data. So I believe the current
implementation
(user select 'Encoded Text' at FileOpen dialog when open txt file which encoding
is not 
identical with platform default) is reasonable.
