Where are you noticing it?

I can, for instance, open PNGs from the FileList.

If you're reading from a stream of your own, you should call

(some stream) converter: Latin1TextConverter new

to kill off the text conversion.

Yes, this is a pain.

Have you looked for my various changes regarding this?

I have recommended that we have a distinct set of open methods that do this:

readOnlyBinaryFileNamed:
oldBinaryFileNamed:
newBinaryFileNamed:

etc.
