+			Collect metadata (file path, extended attributes, image size, number of PDF pages, number of text lines, OCR recognized text extracted from images and plain-text extracted from PDF files),
+			filter the results (do restriction), select only certain attributes (do projection)
+			and format result as a table:

+			How it looks in the terminal:
+		</p>
+		
+		<m:img src="img/streamlets-preview.png"/>
+		
+		<p>
+			OCR and PDF text extractions (and also other metadata extractions) are done on-the-fly in the pipeline.
+			Especially the OCR may take some time, so it is usually better in such case to break the pipe in the middle, 
+			redirect intermediate result to a file (serves like an index or cache) and then use it multiple times 
+			(just <code>cat</code> the file and continue the original pipeline; BTW: multiple files can be simply concatenated, the format is designed for such use). 
+			But in most cases, it is not necessary and we work with live data.
+		</p>
+		
+		<p>
+			Please note that this is really fresh, it has not been released and can be seen only in the Mercurial repository.
+			The streamlets used can be seen here: <a href="https://hg.globalcode.info/relpipe/relpipe-in-filesystem.cpp/file/tip/streamlet-examples">streamlet-examples</a>. 
+			And even the upcoming release v0.15 is still a development version (it will work, but the API might change in future – until we release v1.0 which will be stable and production ready).
+		</p>
+		
+		<p>
+			Regarding performance:
+			currently it is parallelized only over attributes (each streamlet instance runs in a separate process). 
+			In v0.15 it will be parallelized also over records (files in this case).
