This is a cool new placeholder, but I guess it's not perfect yet. 😛

For example it won't be reset under certain circumstances: after saving a IDv2 tag to APEv2 and then deleting only the IDv2 tag, %\_id3v2\_character\_encoding% will remain displaying the charset of the now deleted tag. This is noticable when using this placeholder for a column in the file list.

I've noticed this instantly because I always convert IDv\* tags to APEv2 in mp3s. Only after pressing the "Reload files" button, the "ISO-8859-1/UTF-8/UTF16" will disappear for the APEv2 only files.

_BTW, what charset does APEv2 (and all the other tags... Vorbis Comment/MP4/...) use? Would it make sense to add extra encoding placeholders for these tags, too? I know it's especially useful for IDv2, and rather redundant for the other tags, but it might be a nice "eyecatcher"._
