Find all binary files in the repository

Hello everyone

In our repository, for some unknown reason, there are text files that has been classified as binary. So I would like to know if there is some way to list all files that are binary, so that I can correct this?

One of the reasons why this is important is that RTC has a problem when accepting changes that will lead to a gap, if some file in the change is binary (workitem 128129).

I forgot to mention that I'm using 2.0.0.2.

Unfortunately, there appears to be no good way to do this search. I've
submitted work item 133796 requesting the ability to search for files
with specific properties in a given workspace/stream.

As a workaround, load all the files you care about into your eclipse
workspace, multi-select everything in the Navigator view, open the
context menu, and go to Team -> Change File Properties. From there it
will allow you to change the properties of files by extension.

Cheers,
Geoff
