IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 (Mac) update CVS with wrong encoding

Question

After doing a :

VCS --> CVS --> Update project

my windows-1252 files (.sql and .java for example) are coming with strange unrecognized characters (probably UTF-8 or whatever)

I have specified in :

Preferences --> Editor --> File Encoding

the IDE Encoding and Project Encoding to windows-1252 the Transparent native-to-ascii is not checked

Please help me !!!

Answer 1

IDEA allows selecting the encoding of the file with the selector in the right lower corner. You could switch the encoding, and IDE should offer to convert the opened file.
