I've pushed a new @setting, 

@data active_path_bin_open
    # extensions for files/directories
    # active_path will load as binary, i.e. using external software
    # use lower case only
    .pdf
    
The problem was that active_path assumes any file with no zeros in the
first 100 characters is text.  This is almost always right, and was
probably right for your .pdf file, so a better test for text/binary
won't really work, it needs a specific list of things to open with
external software.

Now I think of it the list should probably include

.svg
.ps
.eps
