Wording for "Default" encoding in Create Database Sheet is ambiguous #1245

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. MySQL character_set and collation set to utf8
2. Sequel Pro -> Preferences -> Default Encoding: UTF-8
3. Add new table - Encoding: Default
4. Table Info -> Encoding: cp1252 (latin1), Collation: latin1_swedish_ci

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Table Info -> Encoding: utf8, Collation: utf8_general_ci

What version of Sequel Pro are you using? What version of MySQL are you
connecting to on the server?

- Sequel Pro 0.9.9.1
- MySQL 5.1.57-rel12.8-log, Percona Server (GPL), 12.8, Revision 232

Sequel Pro is behaving correct.
However the wording is confusing here.
Instead of "Default" we should probably use "Default (Server)" or "Server 
default"

On second though:
"Default" is never a good option as the user often doesn't know what that means.
So we should either 
* always select UTF-8 as Default
* Show the server default eg. "Server Default (cp1512)"
