Help for PreFiltering Files for Speed |
The Prefilter filetypes input areas tells the reindexing script which file extensions to process ahead of time. Any file extension with a corresponding filter script in the
|DIR|/.glimpse_filtersfile is a candidate for prefiltering. Entering the special term allin the input area tells the script to prefilter all files with an extension found in the .glimpse_filters file. Currently prefiltering is incompatible with jump-to-line. So, if you wish to filter only pdf but not html docments, you could enter pdf PDFin the input area. In order to prefilter and index PDF files, you must also install a separate PDF-to-Text program. Please see How To Index PDF Documents with XPDFfor specific instructions.
In order to prefilter and index HTML files while preserving links, you should make sure that htuml2txt.pl is the filter that will be applied. You should see lines like in the file |DIR|/.glimpse_filters. When you return to the Manage archive page you can simply enter*.html |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.shtml |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.sht |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.php |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.PHP |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.php3 |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.php4 |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.htm |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.HTM |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.HTML |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < *.jhtml |WGHOME|/lib/htuml2txt.pl < allin the "Prefilter" input area, and all the extensions listed in your .glimpse_filters file will be prefiltered. |
