Disabling TIKA for FITS version 1.6.0 does not work

[patelanm]

I am trying to run the FITS version 1.6.0. The TIKA configuration for disabling it works completely fine for version 1.5.0, by adding the file-extension to the exclude-exts attribute in fits.config file and it was not running. But we are trying to upgrade to FITS version 1.6.0 and the configuration is not working as expected. I am not able to disable TIKA and it always executes. We want TIKA status to show "did not run" for all the file types.
Here is the line for TIKA in my fits config file:

I don't see the line you meant to show.
If I understand correctly that you want to disable Tika for all files then you can either comment out or delete that entry in the fits.xml config file.
