You may try to reset this setting completely:
- quit FoxTrot
- make sure that all FoxTrot Processes have stopped, using Activity Monitor
- type the following command in Terminal.app:
defaults delete com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases
- launch FoxTrot (this will reset the setting to the default value, which is not empty)
- quit FoxTrot again
- then add your custom setting again:
defaults write com.ctmdev.foxtrot Aliases -array-add "{type='tex'; as='txt';}"
- then relaunch FoxTrot, and rebuild your index

"FoxTrot Attaché Search is an iPad and iPhone companion to FoxTrot
Personal and Professional Search, far and away the most powerful
search and indexing application on the Mac. It leaves applications
like Spotlight, Devonsphere Express and Found for dead.
With Foxtrot Attaché, one can now take those indices and the contents
with you. This means I can take all my emails with me or the contents
of 1000 academic articles."
