Description Gunter Ohrner 2013-09-02 10:17:12 UTC 
My system runs in the Latin9 locale (ISO 8859-15) and I often work with UTF-8-encoded files I open using

  kate -e utf-8 file1.txt file2.html file3.php

Up to KDE 4.10 this did work but in KDE 4.11, only the first file is opened with UTF-8-encoding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a Konsole and invoke Kate on several files using the -e argument to specifiy an encoding different from your system's default encoding: kate -e utf-8 file1.txt file2.html file3.php

Actual Results:  
Only the first file is opened using the specified encoding.

Expected Results:  
All files are opened using the specified encoding.

I tried that with Kate master (KF5 based).

IMHO this is fixed there.
