If you want to exclude binary files from uploading into Collaborator, we did add a vm options to achieve that.

You will need to apply the following steps:

1- Navigate on your machine to Collaborator client directory.

2- Create a text file with the name ccollab and the extension vmoptions (ccollab.vmoptions)

3- Add the following setting:

-Dsmartbear.ccollab.upload.ignore.binary.file=true

 

A boolean setting (values: true/false) to indicate whether or not certain binary files (specified by the Binary File Types setting) are ignored when uploading changelists

4- make sure to leave an empty line at the end of the file then save the file.

 

That way if your user is trying to upload a changelist with a binary file included using the commandline, Collaborator will exclude the binary files from uploading.
