Plugins
The application comes with a plugin feature system that offers an easy way to customize and extend OpenKM functionalities. By default, the application includes a general-purpose plugin implementation; these can be disabled, replaced by others, or increased in number depending on the plugin type. For example, for the antivirus plugin it makes sense to disable it or replace it with another; in the case of the text extractor, disable it or increase the number of available text extractors.
