Hi Rony, You know... after reading your reply, I think I posted the question in the wrong mailing list. I forgot that developers tend to solve things by digging in the code or running some code or reading documentation for the code.
I'm really just wanted a marketing answer. :P - Albert -----Original Message----- From: rony [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2009 13:22 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [dev] Filter List for OOo 3?

A nice starting point may be the xref for the FilterFactory <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/FilterFactory-xref.html>, which has links to the developer guide where more information about filters is given. The link to the FilterFactory is there as well or directly via: <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/FilterFactory.html>. Then <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/TypeDetection.html>, <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/ExtendedTypeDetection.html> with <http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/document/MediaDescriptor.html> may be relevant in this context (and the information you seek) as well. Of course, once you are done, please share your findings in a nutshell with us ! :) [Seriously. If I were able to give you the needed information in a nutshell, I would do so. Not having time to go after that, I hope that at least those links to the relevant OOo online documentation are helpful for your research and experiments, in order to solve your problem. Your findings could be valuable for other readers of this list, hence the request to report back your findings/advice.] ---rony --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
