MDBU for Office Files

[Slavaon]

If possible, leave included MDBU for *.RTF files by default.
These files are perfectly displayed as text and in large quantities have all users on the computer.

Really? I never use RTF files for anything.

I don't think exceptions are the way to go. I'm still thinking about other ways...

RTF format is fine for simple text formatting with illustrations, works on all versions of Windows and does not require to display third-party software - this format is good.

PS: OK, I tested RTF, HTML, MHT, EML .., all work great indeed. So, it's just true MS Office files that fail on some systems. Sigh, I will be flooded with support mails, but anyway: I will reverse my recent decision and will turn on Office support by default in next beta.

Thanks. So, by my quick check their have been filters installed for Office 2013 on my machine.

It's possible that in 8 (or .1 or .1u1) or 2013 they improved the situation - all my testing has been restricted to Office 2010 on Windows 7 since that's what our IT is currently enforcing.

I have no office suite installed currently, but the default ifilters that come with windows works well enough!
For Word doc(x)/odt & other default MSOffice exts (xls...) only though...

btw, I'm late to the party, is mdbu supposed to:
* remove all formatting from docs?
* and display raw html and not extracted text?

Yes, raw text.

* and display raw html and not extracted text?
Untick HTM/L in Previewed Formats/Text and you get the extracted text. (probably only working in v14.40.0318 ... waiting for Flora_RMC...)

Okay, thanks.
(htm/html was unchecked there, but I only have .0315...)
