EXIF - standard text tags - encoding
few inconveniences with Settings>Metadata>Encoding>EXIF group:

• it only has settings for two tags: Copyright and ImageDescription
  but what about other standard text tags: Make, Model, Software, Artist

• it is not clear whether these options are used for encoding or decoding

Suggestion

• reading text tags
  • use single combobox for all standard text tags
    ImageDescription, Make, Model, Software, Artist, Copyright
  • add 'Automatic encoding detection' option
    with the help of some charset-encoding detection library, eg:
    - Compact Encoding Detector (CED)
    - ICU Charset Detector (ucsdet)
    - libcharsetdetect
    - uchardet

• writing text tags
