There is a minor but fatal bug (?) in the GIFT export in that random questions ("qutype4") cannot be exported (of course) and this prevents the export of the non-random questions. I think that random questions should just be ignored and posted a bug to that effect. Even if at some time in the future there are plans to export random questions (I don't really see the need) then it would be very nice to ignore them in the meantime. Indeed, it would be nice for the routine to ignore all question types that it cannot export, rather than give up on the export completely.
I suppose one might export them as something simple like ::!RANDOM QUESTION!::
To bad about the .gft format. I think it could have become an international standard, and allowed us to keep tabs on which files contain our quizes. As Howard points out there are lots of other "text files" (e.g. .html) that are given other extensions. But, the boss is the boss.
