Couldn't find anything in documentation on how to download text only.

I presume that could be done with filters. There is a 'type' option in the web ui dropdown which seems to be the most appropriate tool for this kind of filtering, but I couldn't find anything in docs about how it works. Any advice?

I apologize if I missed it.

I fully intend to support this feature, but RMD currently only supports downloading posts with media, though it does store the full text for each Post or Comment it finds.

Though I haven't gotten into testing this yet, RMD should store the text from every post it finds (after passing through Filters), even if those posts don't contain any URLs. I eventually intend to support a "text-only" mode, but simply haven't had the time (thanks to all the larger changes) to flesh that all out yet. As for implementation, a simple toggle for each Source to enable "text mode" would probably suffice, and be relatively easy to add.

Edit: Perhaps I should also add to this - I intend to (eventually) add another browser mode to the WebUI, which will support searching and viewing all RMD's stored Post information in a Reddit-like way, with all the downloaded media attached as well. The only reason this feature doesn't exist already is simply my personal time limitations.
