I've just been looking at the built-in file type plug-ins, and I can see that for most of them reading the metadata from the original file will work.

But what about your Archive Extract Filetype plug-in? Doesn't it have the same problem that my plug-in has - no meta data extracted from the file?

(goes to check)
Yes, it does - If I put a (non-DRMed) Mobipocket file into a zip archive and import it, it imports as a PRC format file, and can be viewed in the viewer, but no metadata has been read for it.

Should I raise an enhancement request for this? Of can you think of a work-around?
