Tyler Palsulich updated TIKA-821:
---------------------------------
Labels: new-parser (was: )
> Support detecting old MIcrosoft Works Word Processor formats
> ------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: TIKA-821
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-821
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: mime
> Affects Versions: 1.1
> Reporter: Antoni Mylka
> Assignee: Antoni Mylka
> Labels: new-parser
>
> An issue similar to TIKA-812. This time it's about old Works Word Processor
> formats. They use an OLE2 structure, but the top-level entry is called
> "MatOST", they are not supported by the OfficeParser. I would like to:
> # Add a magic to tika-mimetypes.xml to mark the file as ms-works if "MatOST"
> is found. (After TIKA-806 we officially like those).
> # Add an 'if' to POIFSContainerDetector to look for MatOST.
> I'm not creating a separate media type for this (like I did in TIKA-812)
> because no parser supports it anyway. In TIKA-812 it was necessary, because
> ExcelParser can't work with all vnd.ms-works files but can work with 7.0
> spreadsheets. In this case there is no gain in a separate mime type.
