Title: export playlist of documents as mpl - text field includes all text
Post by: lise on April 09, 2010, 04:24:47 pm

I just exported an mpl of 12,000 files in my Docs library.
I glanced at it and noticed something odd: there is a "text" field that includes all the text of the *.txt document. When I look at the tags, there is no such field. Why is the mpl including the actual content of the .txt files rather than just pointing to the files? Is it a bug?

example from my mpl file:

1. INTRODUCTION

The Forum for Philosophy and Public Policy at Queen's University is organizing a multi-year, research project on citizenship, democracy and minority rights in multiethnic states, under the direction of Prof. Will Kymlicka. As part of this project, the Forum distributes a quarterly newsletter updating recent developments in the field, of which this is the forty-forth issue. We hope that it will be of interest to anyone working in the field, whether in academia, public service, or non-governmental organizations.

It's by design to store a compressed text representation of txt, cpp, html, and rtf files.  This allows searching inside of these files using the search box.
