Description

The problems occur only in case that the "Ignore shapefile encoding declaration" option is not checked. I guess that some modifications are needed since multiple OgrFeatureIterator support was adapted. The procedure to reproduce the problems is below:

1. prepare a shapefile not in UTF-8. Set proper LDID or create a cpg file
2. uncheck the "Ignore shapefile encoding declaration" option
3. load the shapefile into QGIS
4. save the shapefile layer as a new shapefile. Select either the encoding of the source or UTF-8. Do not check the "Add saved file to map" option
5. open the attribute table of the source layer
Then the attribute strings will be garbled.

6. load the output shapefile into QGIS and open the attribute table
Then you will be able to see garbled attribute strings on the table.
