Nick Burch commented on TIKA-2473:
----------------------------------
I've added some test files, mime magic and detection. The magic for PCX I've
had to set at a slightly lower priority to avoid some false positives
I'll leave someone else to answer on the parser front!
> PCX and DCX image support
> -------------------------

> Key: TIKA-2473
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-2473
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.16
> Reporter: Matthew Caruana Galizia
>
> It's straightforward in theory to implement support for PCX and DCX. There's
> support for it in Commons Imaging as well as in ImageIO via TwelveMonkeys.
> In practise, however, I'm not really sure how implement support. We obviously
> want to OCR the images, but Tesseract has no support for the format. So where
> do we do the conversion to a BufferedImage? I tried to look for what is done
> to handle JBIG2 files but I can't find that anywhere.
