Package: kpresenter Version: 1:1.5.2-2 KPresenter crashes when trying to open the file http://www.flyermall.com/doc/flyermall.pps which has the extension .pps instead of the usual extension .ppt. PPS stands for PowerPoint Slide Show.
(Should I have attached the .pps file to this bug? It's freely downloadable.) About .pps files: I assume these files are created by some option with a name like File > Save as Slide Show in Microsoft PowerPoint. In Windows, when you double-click a .pps file and you have PowerPoint installed, you see a full-screen slide show right away. When you click the mouse, the show advances one slide. I do not know if it is possible to edit .pps files by using File -> Open in PowerPoint but I can check for you. My prior experiences: I tried catppt(1) on this file twice. The first time it failed. The second time it displayed part of this file. I also tried ppthtml(1) and it seems to have displayed the whole file. I will try OpenOffice next. NOTE: I do not know if KPresenter crashes on other .pps files. I haven't tried.
