      <h1>Updated filters for Recoll</h1>

      

      <p>The following describe new and updated filters, which will be

      part of the next release, but can be installed on the current

      release if you need them.</p>



      <p>For updated filters, you just need to copy the script to the

      filters directory which may be typically either <span

      class="filename">/usr/share/recoll/filters</span>, or <span

      class="filename">/usr/local/share/recoll/filters</span>. Please check

      that the script is executable after copying it, and make it so if

      needed (chmod a+x <i>scriptname</i>)</p>



      <p>For new filters, you'll need to copy the script file as

	above, possibly install the supporting application, and usually

	edit the 

	<span class="filename">mimemap</span>, 

	<span class="filename">mimeview</span> and

	<span class="filename">mimeconf</span> files, either in the

	shared directory

	(<span class="filename">

	  /usr[/local]/share/recoll/examples</span>), or 

	in your personal configuration directory 

	(<span class="filename">$HOME/.recoll</span> or 

	<span class="filename">$RECOLL_CONFDIR</span>).</p>

      

      <p>Alternatively, you can replace your system files with

	these updated and complete versions:

	<a href="mimemap">mimemap</a>

	<a href="mimeconf">mimeconf</a> 

	<a href="mimeview">mimeview</a> </p>



      <blockquote>

	<p>All filters are up to date in Recoll 1.16.2, except

	  rclchm, and the new ones for gnumeric and Okular annotations.</p>

        <p>Recoll 1.15 may benefit from some of the newer

          filters linked below.</p>

        <p>If you are running an older recoll version, you really

          should upgrade.</p>

      </blockquote>



      <h2>Okular annotations</h2>

      <p><a href="rclokulnote">rclokulnote</a>. Okular lets you create

        annotations for PDF documents and stores them in xml format

        somewhere under ~/.kde. This filter does not do a nice job to

        format the data, but will at least let you find it...</p>



      <h2>Gnumeric</h2>

      <p><a href="rclgnm">rclgnm</a>. Needs xsltproc and

      gunzip. As <tt>.gnumeric</tt> was in the list of

      explicitely ignored suffixes, you can't just add the mime

      and indexer script lines to your local mimemap and mimeconf, you

      also need to define recoll_noindex in the local mimemap (to

        override the system one which

        contains <tt>.gnumeric</tt>). The simplest approach may be to

        just replace the system files with those above.</p>



      <h2>Rar archive support</h2>

      <p><a href="rclrar">rclrar</a>. This is up to date in Recoll

        1.16.2 but may be added to Recoll 1.15. It needs the Python

               rarfile module. </p> 



      <h2>Mimehtml support</h2>

      <p>This is based on the internal mail filter, you just need to

        download and install the configuration files (mimemap and

        mimeconf. Will only work with 1.15 and later.</p>



      <h2>Konqueror webarchive (.war) filter</h2>

      <p><a href="rclwar">rclwar</a></p>



      <h2>Updated zip archive filter</h2>

      <p>The filter is corrected to handle utf-8 paths in zip archives: 

        <a href="rclzip">rclzip</a>. Up to date in Recoll 1.16, but

        may be useful with Recoll 1.15</p>



      <h2>Updated audio tag filter</h2>

      <p>The mutagen-based rclaudio filter delivered with recoll 1.14.2

	used a very recent mutagen interface which will only work with

	mutagen versions after 1.17 (probably. at least works with 1.19,

	doesn't with 1.15).

	You can download the <a href="rclaudio">corrected script

	here. Not useful with Recoll 1.5 or 1.6</a>.
