Allow file pattern to specify binary

[tpodom]

What do you think about allowing the files pattern to override whether or not the file should be considered binary? The current implementation isn't configurable if using custom file extensions.

+1 for this. There are currently a bunch of other pull requests for one format or another. I'm currently stuck on the swf one.

Yes, this needs to happen. As far as I can tell, loading files into a Blob is the only way to test working with user provided files. Currently all of my .xlsx test files are named .tar

Or use isbinaryfile as suggested before

👍 adding my vote on that. Though instead of "blacklisting" binary files Karma should whitelist text file. It really takes some time to figure out that the file loaded in the browser is not the one you have on disk, and why that happened.

👍 My vote as well.

Also adding to the extensions list: .pbf, for protobufs.

I really don't like naming things .pbf.png...

We should switch to using isbinaryfile for now.
