-----------------------------------
Doh! wrong issue # in the commit msg. Sorry for the noise. Should have been:
TIKA-2743
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
