[Zope] ExtFile and TextIndexNG issues

[Palermo, Tom]

All,
 
Last week I posted this:

I've since deleted the PrincipiaSearchSource method from the ExtFile.py
file. If my catalog has no TextIndexNG indexes, I can use the Find Objects
tab to find and catalog ExtFile objects. If I add a TextIndexNG index named
"PrincipiaSearchSource" and click either the "Find and Catalog" button under
the "Find Objects" tab or the "Update Catalog" button under the "Advanced"
tab, they both return the rendered ExtFile (a pdf file in this case) to the
browser. I'm not clear as to what is causing this. I don't think it's
ExtFile since it doesn't even have a PrincipiaSearchSource method at this
point. I haven't tried upgrading to ExtFile 1.5 from the svn trunk yet but I
really don't think that's the problem. I'm going to try that next (upgrading
to ExtFile 1.5). Does anyone have any ideas about what would cause the
ExtFile to launch instead of just get catalogged?

Thanks,

Tom
