Preinstalled plugins in ZOOM Version 7

[Bradleyadams]

Hi! I am a newbie to this forum I have studied about what are all the changes and updates done in the version 7 I came to know from the following link: http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/whatsnew.html
My doubt is In that it is given as "Built-in Plugin support" what does it meant? I need to know what are all the plugins will be pre-installed in the browser? Could anyone know what are all the plugins will be pre-installed in the browser.

The plugins are used by the Zoom Indexer application and are not installed to your Browser. For some file formats, Zoom uses external applications (i.e. plugins ) to index various file formats (e.g. Adobe Acrobat PDF files). You can find the the plugins that Zoom uses in the "C:\ProgramData\Wrensoft\Zoom Search Engine Indexer V7\plugins" directory.

While the plugins were optional (and installed separately) in the previous versions of Zoom (V6 etc.), the current version (V7) has them all pre-installed and built-in. So you don't really have to concern yourself with them.

Basically, this feature just means that the current version supports indexing non-text file formats like PDF, DOC, XLS, PPT, etc. with no extra requirement on your part. You just have to select these formats in the wizard or add them to the scan extensions list under "Configure"->"Scan options".

Hi! ray and richard thanks for both of your reply. Richard have told that in the latest version for some file formats such as PDF, external extensions can be used to index those files but ray had told that no extra requirements needed to ndex non text file formats like PDF. I am really confused on both of your explanations could anyone please explain me clearly as I am a new bie I need some brief explanation please don't mistake me.

[Ray]

There is no contradiction.

Richard is right that the plugins are used to index those files.

I said that the plugins come pre-installed with V7 of Zoom. So there is no extra action on your part to install them. You just need to add the extensions in the Scan Options list.

okay now I understood the concept very clearly. Thanks for your valuable and peaceful replies richard and ray.

Hi! ray as of richard said only the plugins which are available for indexing the various applications in Zoom search engines are available preinstalled in zoom version 7 or else other than application indexing plugins what are all the plugins available in zoom version 7 pre installed. please forgive me if I ask anything wrong.

[Ray]

Here's a list of the file formats which are supported by Zoom V7:

Zoom uses plugins to handle these formats, but as noted above, since they come preinstalled/packaged with Zoom V7, you do not need to identify which plugin does what. The list of file formats that you can index is far more useful.

Thanks for sharing the link ray.My doubt is I need to know whether only the application indexing plugins are pre installed in zoom or other than the application indexing plugins is any plugins available pre installed in zoom that only I need to know.

Sorry I cannot understand your question. The sentence is really badly formed and grammatically incoherent. I sympathize that English may not be your first language, but there is just not way to understand what you're asking unless you re-phrase your question.

[Bradleyadams]

Okay ray I think you are struggling very hard to understand the meaning of my question. I will explain it in the elobarated way itself so that you can understand I think so.
You have told that for application indexing process we can index simply by using the "Configure"-> " Scan options"
Like wise, Is there any plugin available? for any other purpose other than application indexing process.

[Ray]

All the plugins that are currently available come pre-installed with Zoom.

In the future, we may add more plugins, but currently, there are no other plugins.

Okay thank you very much for your reply Mr. Ray Now You might have understand the question easily I think so do you?
