mimemap specifies the
file name extension to MIME type mappings.
For file names without an extension, or with an unknown
one, the system's file -i
command will be
executed to determine the MIME type (this can be switched off
inside the main configuration file).
The mappings can be specified on a per-subtree basis,
which may be useful in some cases. Example:
gaim logs have a
.txt extension but
should be handled specially, which is possible because they
are usually all located in one place.
The recoll_noindex
mimemap variable has been moved to
recoll.conf and renamed to
noContentSuffixes, while keeping the same
function, as of Recoll version 1.21. For older Recoll versions,
see the documentation for noContentSuffixes
but use recoll_noindex in
mimemap.
