This automatic detection makes sense in most cases, turning it off generally is not such a good idea, and turning it off for just one file and back on afterward is a very unconfortable workaround.
It would be great to have a "mode change button" that switches between text and binary mode. If the file having been changed causes problems, the button could be deactivated as soon as changes to the content have been made. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,70307,71076> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
