When I started working on this indexer, this line wasn't present. The problem was that after I launched nepomukindexer 6 or 7 times on the same Zip file (to get debug output), nepomukshow listed some duplicate properties. If I recall correctly, it was NFO::uncompressedSize that was displayed more than once.

Another problem that I see in this indexer is that it indexes ArchiveItems every run. Does Nepomuk have some sort of garbage collector or any mechanism that prevents multiple ArchiveItems to be indexed for the same URL ? During my testing, nepomukshow never returned more than one result when I tried to display the information known to Nepomuk about an archive item, but does that really mean that there are no orphaned archive items ?

The extractor creates one Nepomuk resource per file or directory in the archive (root directory included). These resources have the types ArchiveEntry, and FileDataObject (for files) or Folder (for directories). They also have their nie:url property set to an URL that can be used with the Archive KIO (for instance, "zip:/home/me/archive.zip/one/file" or "tar:/usr/src/linux-3.7.2.tar.xz"). For files, their fileSize is set to the uncompressed size of the file.
