Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1946:
-----------------------------------
As mentioned, I went with more specific identification of file version via mime
types...the overall mime is still {{application/vnd.wordperfect}}. This leads
only the right version of files to be directed to the new parsers. They will
throw exceptions if they are somehow given the wrong version.
This behavior seems to be inline for how we're handling file types for which we
don't have parsers, which, in effect, is what we have here.
I'd like to leave {{UnsupportedFormatException}} for those cases where we can't
determine the mime before sending it to the general parser that should
generally handle it.
I'm happy to change this behavior if desired. Thank you, all!
