how to set file coding system but using per directory variables

how to set file coding system but using per directory variables

[Paul K]

when I add following as first llne in a buffer it is properly interpretted

-*- coding: windows-1250-dos -*-


I don't want to add any headers to files though, so I created
.dir-locals.el file with following content:
((nil . ((buffer-file-coding-system . windows-1250-dos)
         (coding-system-for-read . windows-1250-dos)
         (coding-system-for-write . windows-1250-dos))))


then when I open file coding system is not automatically converted, I need
to do extra buffer reverting for declared coding system to be applied.

do You have any ideas?

best regards,

Maybe needs a string - "windows-1250-dos" ?

Alternatively - Would it help to define it at the end of buffer instead?

;; Local Variables:
;; coding: windows-1250-dos
;; End:

Also employing tweaked find-file command seems possible:

(defun find-file-windows-1250-dos (filename &optional wildcards)
   "Edit file FILENAME using coding-system windows-1250-dos.

See find-file for documentation"
   (interactive
    (find-file-read-args "Find file: "
                         (confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer)))
   (let ((coding-system-for-read 'windows-1250-dos)
         (coding-system-for-write 'windows-1250-dos)
         (value (find-file-noselect filename nil nil wildcards)))
     (if (listp value)
	(mapcar 'switch-to-buffer (nreverse value))
       (switch-to-buffer value))))

To work, I think, it needs to be:

	-*- coding: windows-1250-dos; -*-
