the txt being genome data doesn't surprise me[1], but I find it sad that now 
txt is disabled by default (I use them quite a lot for blog posts). As genome 
data is really huge wouldn't it make sense to go rather for file size or abort 
the indexing if it's obvious random gibberish?

Restricting to the XDG dirs is certainly something which could be done, but I 
also find this unfortunate - my setup is older than those dirs ;-)
