feature request: change confirmation about editing UTF-8 files

[CameronD73]

I am doing some search/replace on a bunch of html files that I know are utf-8, without a BOM.
Every time I click "replace" it wants yet another confirmation, which is tedious, especially when neither the folder nor the file extension has changed.

Ideally the confirmation should only appear only once - until I do something to potentially change the target files (folder or filename match)

Having the alert can be a useful reminder, so if the first suggestion is not easy, then a setting to disable it for the duration of the program instance would be a reasonable alternative.

A related issue is that grepwin seems to recognise when I paste a utf-8 character into the "replace" box and, if I do not have "treat files as UTF8" ticked then it will automatically convert to ANSI to write to the file. It might be better to have the alert at this point - something like "you have provided a UTF8 character and it will be converted to ..." The example character I was using was "Vulgar Fraction One Half" (U+00bd)
I am guessing you always treat files with a BOM as the indicated UTF encoding, so it only applies to files without a BOM.

If I take a character not in the latin-1 set, such as five-eighths, then it silently converts it to "?" to write to a file assumed not UTF-x. This could definitely do with a warning.

If your UTF8 files without BOM has only ASCII chars, they are the same as ANSI files. Option "Treat files as UTF8" would help.
