# Updated filters for Recoll

The following describe new and updated filters, which will be part of the next release, but can be installed on the current release if you need them.

For updated filters, you just need to copy the script to the filters directory which may be typically either /usr/share/recoll/filters, or /usr/local/share/recoll/filters. Please check that the script is executable after copying it, and make it so if needed (chmod a+x scriptname)

For new filters, you'll need to copy the script file as above, possibly install the supporting application, and usually edit the mimemap, mimeview and mimeconf files, either in the shared directory ( /usr[/local]/share/recoll/examples), or in your personal configuration directory ($HOME/.recoll or $RECOLL_CONFDIR).

Alternatively, you can replace your system files with these updated and complete versions: mimemap mimeconf mimeview

## Updated audio tag filter

The mutagen-based rclaudio filter delivered with recoll 1.14.2 used a very recent mutagen interface which will only work with mutagen versions after 1.17 (probably. at least works with 1.19, doesn't with 1.15). You can download the corrected script here.
