I don't agree : in most case text is encoded in a locale dependent way, especially on Windows

Implementing this would probably do more harm than good.

I'm sorry as I think there is a broad misunderstanding here. Of course I do not suggest "Text Filter" to be set as the "Importer"'s default value upon application installation. I am talking about the ability for a user to set his user preferences according to his most popular way of importing text. I.e. something like this within prefs.xml:

<level name="application">
 <context name="Importer">
  <attribute key="default" value="Text Filter"/>
 </context>
 <context name="Encoding">
  <attribute key="default" value="utf8"/>
 </context>
</level>

Such a setting would save me 4 clicks every time I import text. Thanks for further consideration.

A better solution would be that text import dialog simply remembers its settings.

I agree. That would do the job for me too, of course...
