color: black;text-decoration: line-through;">D16593: [ExtractorCollection] Use only best matching extractor plugin</a>, and had in mind previous situation where we've matched all extractors based on inheritance. In that case, "Secondly" part indeed does not seem to apply anymore.<br />
(as for my previous answer: I misunderstood you, thought you were asking about the case where <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">PlainTextExtractor</tt> did not match & matched afterwards)</p>

SVG inherits from text/plain, but has its own extractor, thus is not fed to the PlaintextExtractor. Dito for anything inheriting from XML.</p></blockquote>
<p>I'm not claiming the list to be comprehensive, it's just a first approximation.<br />
I'm claiming just that there is plethora of plain-text-based types (and might be even more in the future), some of which <strong>in principle</strong> might cause an issue.</p>
<p>There were plenty of situations in the past when users first encountered Baloo choking on some files (see git log of <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">fileexcludefilters.cpp</tt> - SQL dumps, genome data, etc.), which made Baloo unusable for them.<br />
Luckily for us, they reported it, and we blacklisted it. But I think it's unlikely we will manage to cover all the problematic cases that way (not all users report issues, and we're not familiar with all possible mimetypes).<br />
This patch should serve as a preventive measure, reducing the probabilty of Baloo choking on it in the first place.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R293 Baloo</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D23787">https://phabricator.kde.org/D23787</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>poboiko, Baloo, bruns, ngraham<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>davidedmundson, broulik, kde-frameworks-devel, Baloo, hurikhan77, lots0logs, LeGast00n, fbampaloukas, GB_2, domson, ashaposhnikov, michaelh, astippich, spoorun, ngraham, bruns, abrahams<br /></div>
