I renamed some files in the file cabinet from .xml to .ftlx and now File.getContents() is returning base64 instead of text. Is there a way to tell NetSuite that these are text files?

NS being strange again, apparently it sets the type of the file based on the extension, but only when you *upload* the file, not when you rename it. So if you have an xml and rename it txt, it will still think it's XML until the next time you change the file.
