<h1>Updated filters for Recoll</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For updated filters, you just need to copy the script to the
filters directory which may be typically either <span
class="filename">/usr/share/recoll/filters</span>, or <span
class="filename">/usr/local/share/recoll/filters</span>. Please check
that the script is executable after copying it, and make it so if
needed (chmod a+x <i>scriptname</i>)</p>
<p>For new filters, you'll need to copy the script file as
above, possibly install the supporting application, and usually
edit the
<span class="filename">mimemap</span>,
<span class="filename">mimeview</span> and
<span class="filename">mimeconf</span> files, either in the
shared directory
(<span class="filename">
/usr[/local]/share/recoll/examples</span>), or
in your personal configuration directory
(<span class="filename">$HOME/.recoll</span> or
<span class="filename">$RECOLL_CONFDIR</span>).</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can replace your system files with
these updated and complete versions:
<a href="mimemap">mimemap</a>
<a href="mimeconf">mimeconf</a>
<a href="mimeview">mimeview</a> </p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>All filters are up to date in Recoll 1.13.04, except rclics.</p>
<p>If you are using an older version, you should update to 1.13.04.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Updated icalendar filter</h2>
<p>The filter script for all releases up and including 1.13.04 used
the icalendar Python module which is not robust enough against some
syntax errors (found for example in Mozilla exports). The new version
uses an internal trivial parser, which will hopefully be both
sufficient for what we are doing and more robust.
You can download the <a href="rclics">new script</a>. This will not
work for versions prior to 1.13.</p>
