How to write an extractor is well-documented, but I'm not sure the extractor interface can handle this. It seems to me that what is really needed is some kind of "pass-through extractor" or filter. That is, a plug-in that can pass data to an existing extractor. It's not enough that there be a ZIP extractor, but the ZIP extractor must be able to recursively call other extractors for the files in the ZIP file, and those extractors must be able to meaningfully submit metadata. I don't know if the existing tracker interface allows this. I don't even know if the tracker URI format used in extraction can handle URIs that refer to files inside of archives. Basically, I might need some help with this patch, and it might be better to discuss the details off-line, if anyone is interested. Jeff |
