It's your page, so you get to decide, but IMHO there's no need to
assume that your page is read only by dummies ;-) This issue is
sufficiently complicated already, so if the reader can understand how
to do it with UniPad, she can understand Album as well. With UniPad,
you need to use "Copy As..." and "Paste As...", with Album, you need
to set the input or output codepages to whatever you want. It's that
simple. (And Album can be set up to perform the conversion
automatically, so the user can copy-paste as if the problem didn't
exist.)

All you need to set is the output codepage for conversion (and
sometimes the input as well, it depends on the other application).

No, whatever you change is used the next time Album is started.
