[opencms-dev] Mass change types?

[Stanczak Group]

I'll give that a shot. I did get the export to work, but it was strange. 
I have to upload my files to the server which showed them as plain text. 
Then export them to a zip file. I opened the zip file and edited the 
manifest.xml file by changing all the types from plain to xmlcontent. I 
then imported it back and that updated them all correctly. I can't see 
doing this regularly but it worked.
