--- Comment #57 from Pete Edwards <koha at jsense.co.uk> ---
I agree with you Marcel, that plugins themselves are not part of the codebase
but I think we also agree that the plugin system is. I had forgotten that it
was that 3.20 note regarding issue 12412 that had led me to develop the plugin
the way I had. I even commented on the issue when I was working it. When I
reviewed the code changes this week, I concluded I had been lucky - there is
nothing obvious in the code to allow arbitrary file types - the reading routine
just allowed a non-MARC record file to drop through to the plugin in a less
that obvious way so I can see why you didn't maintain that in this latest
update. It highlights the need to have clear in-code documentation that would
have explained the intent of the original author. I agree with your suggestion
about adding an "Arbitrary" format but that will probably take some time to get
through development so for now, I'll move my code to a different plugin that
will simply convert to a Marc file and allow my users to download that and then
stage it without using any plugin.
