Alfresco Extracter and versioning

[lplp]

Hi,
we have built a custom MetadataExtractor combined with a custom ContentType for our own needs.
We think we made all the correct declarations.

When we create a file, all happens correctly :
- File is created with the correct ContentType (adding th new metadata)
- those metadata are populated by the custom extracter.

As seen in the log:

But if i create a new version of the file, although the Extracter is actually fired up and new metada gets read, nothing in written in the new node :

We can't find out what we did wrong.

Does anybody has an idea ?

Thanx for help.

Turns out there was a configuration item named overwritePolicy.
overwritePolicy=EAGER was the solution
