Description

Hi everybody!
I'm trying to white-list a particular mime-type for OCR with the following config:

<properties>
  <parsers>
    <parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.DefaultParser">
      <mime-exclude>application/pdf</mime-exclude>
      <parser-exclude class="org.apache.tika.parser.ocr.TesseractOCRParser"/>
    </parser>
    <parser class="org.apache.tika.parser.pdf.PDFParser">
      <mime>application/pdf</mime>
    </parser>
  </parsers>
</properties>

So, the idea is - to enable the Tesseract parser for PDF format only.
But this configuration disables the Tesseract completely.
Is it the expected behaviour or a bug?
Thank you!
