When binary files are submitted, they are currently also shown on the user interface with the content "Binary data". These binary files don't really need to be shown on the user interface. This makes finding the file you're searching for easier. If you need to access to binary files, you can still download the (whole) solution.
The only drawbacks with this approach are that you'll lose the ability to view what binary files were submitted. Also you can't just download a single binary file through the user interface anymore.
I'd prefer to have binary files hidden on the user interface instead of having the current situation. But let me know what you think about this. Maybe my approach would break something essential for someone else.
