OCR in docs upload

[p2b]

Hi,

There is a work-around described in issue 338 to enable OCR on documents that are uploaded to google docs.

It says to add '?ocr=true' to line 326 of googlecl/docs/client.py.

I am having some troubles to implement this fix.

First of all how do I know which client.py to edit? I have multiple instances of this file:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gdata/docs/client.py /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/gdata/docs/client.py /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/googlecl/docs/client.py /usr/share/pyshared/gdata/docs/client.py

Also the work-around seems te be written for an older version of googlecl.

Can someone give me some pointers how to enable OCR for google docs uploads?

Thanks, Pieter

Just figured it out:
Change the following lines:
452 return self.post(entry, uri + '?ocr=true', media_source=media,
453 desired_class=gdata.docs.data.DocsEntry,
454 auth_token=auth_token, **kwargs)
