It's sometimes desirable to edit binary files, but it's certainly annoying to have them interfere with completion. I think it's a judgement call that should be made by someone experienced with that sort of file (who that is, I don't know). > > You don't want to edit them > > That's for the user to decide; there's "M-x hexl-find-file". But emacs ought to provide good defaults. `hexl-find-file' is a special case, and probably ought to override completion-ignored-extensions if it can, because it's typically used for editing files you normally don't want to edit. -Miles -- Yo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down.
