Description
With this option checked by default,
- Copying C:\NTLDR fails because it's copied as ASCII
- Copying /bin/ls fails
- Backing up a CMS that encrypts the filenames of attached files (=>with no extension) fails
ASCII convertion is file modification.
Files without extension are of unknown type.
Modifying files of unknown type is really something that shouldn't be default behavior.
I'm reporting this bug after having ~2000 corrupted files because of it. And I discovered that the files were corrupted after a week, so even my backup is corrupted.
ASCII convertion for binary files corrupts them irreversibly, please don't do it by default.
