Thoughts about using Apache Tika for file detection and also for EXIF parsing? #10

Hey everyone - Apache Tika has file detection support for 1400+ formats (and growing), and also support for parsing image EXIF metadata and so forth. There is a Tika-Python also. Any interest in using Apache Tika?

In ghiro 0.3 we refactored the module architecure to allow many modules contribute with the same info (i.e. exif). In ghiro 0.4 is planned to develop support to fetch data with many other libraries (tika is one of them). Thank you really much for this feature request, really appreciated, it will be planned for ghiro 0.4

@chrismattmann it will be awesome! Any kind of help is really appreciated! Just look at processing plugins, you just need to write one.
