Description Carlos Garnacho 2008-01-15 11:29:02 UTC 
Currently metadata extractors are all bundled in one single executable, being thus little extensive, requiring recompiling for any change, and not allowing third party apps provide their own metadata extractors.

I'm going to attach a patch to make extractors modular, loaded dynamically by tracker-extractor, so all these limitations are gone.

The patch is fairly big, if you want it to be splitted for better review tell me, I'll do when I find the moment.

Turns out this was already committed some time ago, I guess it can be closed as FIXED :)
