I noticed that mdimport has gained a few new options that refer to "modern importers":
-e Print all the modern importers available
-m Import files using modern importers. Specify the file type via -y and then the file url(s) via -u (separated by space)
-y type Type of the file. Requires -m
-u urls URLs for the files. Requires -m
mdimport -e replies with:
Extensions: id(501)
I can't figure out what "modern importers" are.
