Description
It is necessary to make two equivalent drop-downs in the menu:
- Open file using manual encoding selection (without changing and saving the file itself)
- Save file with encoding
And these lists should be equivalent in content!
Many editors have this option implemented.
At the moment, if I need to rediscover the file in a specific encoding ... then notepad ++ re-saving the file and without the ability to roll back this action))

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Inspect the existing encoding-selection menus for opening and saving files, then trace how each list is populated and how manual reopening affects the file; done means both menus offer equivalent choices and opening with a selected encoding does not modify or save the file.
