             Summary: Add character set selection as a standard but optional part of FileBrowserSheet
                 Key: PIVOT-1064
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1064
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wtk, wtk-terra
            Reporter: Roger Lee Whitcomb
            Assignee: Roger Lee Whitcomb
             Fix For: 2.1.0


Pretty much every time I implement a FileBrowser as para of a semi-serious application I need to figure out /specify the charset to use for load or save. There is already a rather ugly hook for placing extra controls in a FileBrowserSheet that is used for this purpose in one demo program. But having a style or attribute as a standard part of the control would be a lot nicer. 

Open questions include:
* Where to place it for best layout?
* How to specify the selection of charsets? Most-common or all or some subset or custom?
* Style vs attribute in the control?
* API to get / set the value and set default. 
* Obviously doesn’t need to show for directory selection. 
* Should it be in FileBrowser itself or Sheet?
* What about VFSBrowser?
