This feels a bit like a bug and not a feature? Maybe...
Nick, what do you think?
The PackageParser winds up parsing the file with this one:
<properties>
<parsers>
<parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser">
<mime-exclude>application/vnd.apple.keynote</mime-exclude>
<parser-exclude class="org.apache.tika.parser.iwork.IWorkPackageParser"/>
</parser>
</parsers>
</properties>
and this one:
<properties>
<parsers>
<parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser">
<mime-exclude>application/vnd.apple.keynote</mime-exclude>
<parser-exclude class="org.apache.tika.parser.iwork.IWorkPackageParser"/>
<parser-exclude class="org.apache.tika.parser.pkg.PackageParser"/>
</parser>
<parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.pkg.PackageParser">
<mime-exclude>application/vnd.apple.keynote</mime-exclude>
</parser>
</parsers>
</properties>
Again, the problem is that the DefaultParser backs off to
application/zip because application/vnd.apple.keynote is a subclass of
zip.
Not sure what the fix should be...
