> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement

>
>
> There are many applications which use the MSOffice magic number. I know of
> Corel Presentations X3, Corel Quattro Pro 7 and X3 and Microsoft Works Word
> Processor. They have their own mime types.
> They aren't properly supported by POI though which means that if the
> ContentAwareDetector finds such a file, it will resort to the
> POIFSContainerDetector and return the basic application/x-tika-msoffice file
> type because POI won't be able to say anything more specific. This will
> happen even in situations when the fallback detector might come up with a
> better answer.
> That's why IMHO the fallback detector should be used if the
> POIFSContainerDetector returns x-tika-msoffice. If the fallback detector
> comes up with a more specific type - the more specific one should be used.
