Hello.

Sigil 2 saves .ini files as UTF-8, which is an advantage.
However, now it also exports them with this encoding, which makes it tricky to import them in previous versions if they have special characters (as it happens in languages like Spanish, French, etc.).
This change prevents the correct exchange of "Clips" and "Saved searches" between installations or users (especially now that Windows 7 is no longer supported).
Would it be possible to allow the previous export (ANSI)? Maybe as an additional option?

Thank you very much for your great work!
