Foxtrot is not indexing RTFD files
https://forum.foxtrot-search.com/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=1295&th=452#msg_1295
I reset the file type with : defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrot AliasesĀ , and rebuild my index with no avail.
I also tried to run: defaults write com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases -array-add "{type='rtfd'; as='rtf';}", as well as defaults write com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases -array-add "{type='rtfd'; as='txt';}"
None of them are working. This is strange. What should I do to make FT to index them?]]>Des Bw2021-11-13T15:20:10-00:00Re: Foxtrot is not indexing RTFD files

Not sure whether this helps, but what version of macOS are you running ? I just read that 11.6 included an update to its built-in rtf mdimporter, and this might be a factor. I am running 11.6 and have rtfd documents indexed indeed.

I have never noted that these files were not indexed until yesterday.
rtf files are correctly indexed; but not the RTFD ones.
Is there anything I can do that could help me to index them? ]]>Des Bw2021-11-14T07:25:14-00:00Re: Foxtrot is not indexing RTFD files

Tweaking the com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases preference won't work, as .rtfd files are in fact folders containing a .rtf file and embedded images, so trying to parse a folder as a file will have an unexpected behavior.
Did you rebuild your index after resetting this preferences? Also, please note that beginning with FoxTrot 7.1, these command line preferences should be set to the com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared domain, instead of com.ctmdev.FoxTrot or com.ctmdev.FoxTrotPro depending if the preference is specific or not to FoxTrot Professional or Personal. Preferences previously set for the legacy domains should have been automatically transferred to com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared, so to reset the Alias preference, type:
defaults delete com.ctmdev.FoxTrotShared Aliases
Also delete the preference in the other domains as well, just in case:
Is "word processor" enabled, in the "index contents of files" list of the "indexed data" tab?
Which items are enabled in the "including" popup menu? Note that if "files inside packages" AND "also include files inside spotlight-supported packages", then the .rtf file (as well as the image files) embedded inside the .rtfd package should be indexed in addition to the .rtfd package itself.]]>FoxTrot Engineering2021-11-15T09:39:12-00:00
