Re: Cache pdftotext results for glimpse? (2)

[David Kreil <kreil@ebi.ac.uk>]

Hi,

Forgot to add: For such a script to work, I would need access to the name of 
the file presently being indexed. Is there a way I can request this name to be 
passed on to the script? Maybe something along the lines of

*.pdf   pdftotextfilter.sh %1 <

in .glimpse_filters?

With many thanks for your help,

David.

PS: I found the patch explained in
  http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Adobe/Gallery/xpdf-generic-patch.html
very useful for indexing my PDF files. In my view, indexing is not copying a 
file. Of course, it's up to individuals to decide whether they want to ignore 
the "do not copy" flag. In any case, your users might appreciate a link :)
