Current behavior

when I adding existing file by drag it to boostnote, the content is incorrect and can not be recognized, the default file encoding is ANSI, for me is GBK .

Expected behavior

some information lost when adding new files, caused the content convert to garbage. One interesting thing is the file name is not impacted and can display correctly.

Environment

Version : 0.11.15
OS Version and name : windows 10

Actually I think this behavior makes sense, it is virtually impossible to determine text encoding if not explicitly told what the encoding should be, and Windows "ANSI" encoding is different from system to system. All characters would show properly if the file above is converted to UTF-8 before importing.
