mimemap specifies the
file name extension to MIME type mappings.
For file names without an extension, or with an unknown one,
recent Recoll versions will use libmagic. Older versions would execute a system command
(file -i, or xdg-mime) will be
executed to determine the MIME type (this can be switched off, or the command changed
inside the main configuration file).
All extension values in mimemap must be
entered in lower case. File names extensions are lower-cased for
comparison during indexing, meaning that an upper case
mimemap entry will never be matched.
The mappings can be specified on a per-subtree basis,
which may be useful in some cases. Example:
okular notes have a
.xml extension but
should be handled specially, which is possible because they
are usually all located in one place. Example:
[~/.kde/share/apps/okular/docdata] .xml = application/x-okular-notes
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.
