Add Unix file filters #188

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
We should allow the use of the PyPDF filter under Unix; also we may be able
to import Word and other file formats using AbiWord:

Perhaps there should be a filter that spawns an external program and then
imports the resulting plain text.

In fact, why not just copy the way Omindex does it? There's a wealth of 
different
formats here.

We should also add a generic method for allowing any installed IFilters to be 
used
(on a Windows system). It's possible to inspect the registry to see which 
extensions
have an associated IFilter.
