Public bug reported:
After installing recoll on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, some external
applications/commands are reported to be needed and not found for
indexing some file types. The list can be seen by launching
Recoll > File > Show Missing Helpers
It is not always trivial to find the correct packages to install.
I suggest to add at least next dependencies to make recoll work right
out of the box:
antiword
unrtf
libwpd-tools (for wpd2html, an application related to WordPerfect files)
catdoc (for xls2csv, an application related to MSWord files)
lyx
libimage-exiftool-perl (for Perl::Image::ExifTool)
python-mutagen (for python:mutagen)
For python:midi, I didn't find the package to install.
Other dependencies could be needed, but perhaps these were already
present on my system. So some checks should be performed on a fresh
installed system.
After installing a missing application, it is necessary to update (not
rebuild) the index of Recoll (which goes amazing fast) by issuing:
Recoll > File > Update index
After this index update, the list of missing helpers will also be
updated.
