Description Dave Rowntree 2006-10-24 13:49:54 UTC 
I know there is an outstanding bug for indexing (compressed) archives, but is it a straightford task to add support for indexing files that have been compressed?  External filters can be used on a type-by-type basis, but support is lacking for M$ PowerPoint by this route which isn't very clean.
It seems all the support is there, just a lack of a bzip2/gzip filter!

The big issue with this is that the File System backend does not support child indexables well at all (as in it doesn't), I'm thinking about writing a simple filter that just indexes at least the names of files in the archive, and maybe even content, but just stores it as 1 indexable.....

I dunno, there are some major architecture issues that this brings up, which might get addressed soon (super-cool metadata store ;) ) or might not.

ok, I'm marking this as a dupe of the master archive filter bug, please post any of your thoughts or input there! 

Thanks for reporting!
Kevin
