SUMMARY
***
Sometimes one wants to search for metadata in images, e.g. EXIF, ICMP and so
on.
This probably would require something like an InputFilter, i.e. a function to
be called for each file found meeting the file name pattern. The input filter
should extract the content of the file, which would be for text files the whole
content, but for files of defined categories like *.jpg images, it would just
return the texts in the EXIF, ICMP and so on fields.
For technical drawings one might supply InputFilters which only extract Names
or item numbers of contained sub-components and so on. This way one could
easily search such files for such things even if their data also contain other
binary information which would yield wrong results if fed to a grep solution.
If the InputFilter would just extract only such "searchable items", the grep
solution applied to the filtered results would work fine.
This approach would make Krusader's already good searching capability become
applicable to much wider classes of files. I guess, archive files like gzipped
ones and so on already use such a concept.
