That was not my intent. Sorry about that. > I explicitly requested licensecheck to not change behaviour. Yes. And I now understand what behavior I changed unintentionally. I've reviewed the old version of licensecheck code and here's what I understand about its old behavior. Old licensecheck scanned any file (including binary) when licensecheck was run with either of the following arguments: - a single file - one or more files matching a regexp passed to --check option On the other hand, licensecheck scanned only files with specific extensions (like .c .h) when licensecheck was run with either of the following arguments: - more than one file - a directory Unfortunately, the mime based filter I implemented did break the first use case. cme (and probably license-reconcile) needs the second use case which broke when directory scan included unparsable results for binary files. Now that I better understand what went on, I can restore the behavior described above while keeping a filter based on mime instead of file extension. Jonas, do you agree with this proposal ?
