Try to auto-detect character encoding from file content
Check this option to make Merge look within files to determine the character encoding that should be used for loading and saving. If the encoding cannot be determined, the default character encoding specified above will be used.
Merge currently looks for Unicode byte-order markers at the start of files, xml and html encoding directives, and #pragma codepage directives within resource files.
