Bug ID: 438186
Summary: kfilemetadata: Executable ExternalExtractors are
ignored, contrary to the documentation.
Product: frameworks-kfilemetadata
Version: 5.82.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: pinak.ah...@gmail.com
Reporter: pat.tho...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Commit 73da9a53cb added code to extractorcollection.cpp that skips files that
are not libraries. However, this library is supposed to support executable
files in the libexec/kf5/kfilemetadata/externalextractors subdirectories. The
commit mentioned above skips all such files so no executable external extractor
is ever recognised. Inverting the logic when checking for external extractors
(line 114) enables the use of such executable files
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a folder under libexec/kf5/kfilemetadata/externalextractors (eg
testextractor) and add a manifest.json and an executable shell script or python
program.
2. Run QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=true" ./bin/dump path/to/some/file
3. Look for the output of the extractor or for it to have been located in the
debug output
OBSERVED RESULT
The external extractor is not found and not called.
EXPECTED RESULT
The external extractor is called as documented.
