Hi Tim,
Can you give me a screen shot of your definition(s) for PowerPoint in the
bitstream_format_registy? Something's still not working right and I suspect it
may be here.
Thanks,
Sue

You are welcome to subscribe to the JIRA ticket itself to receive updates. Just
login to JIRA (uses the same acct as the DSpace wiki), and click "Watch" icon
in the far right. You'll then get an email any time that ticket is updated.
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1140
Currently, we need to locate a volunteer developer to take on this work.
So, I'm not sure how long it will take before it is implemented.

This PPT/PPTX Filter was first made available in DSpace 1.7.0. So, it should
already work in your DSpace 1.7.1 installation. In your dspace.cfg you'd just
want to make sure the following is setup (it should be by default):
'filter.plugins' setting: make sure this includes "PowerPoint Text Extractor",
like displayed here:
https://fisheye3.atlassian.com/browse/dspace/dspace/trunk/dspace/config/dspace.cfg?hb=true#to400
'FormatFilter' setting: make sure it *defines* a "PowerPoint Text Extractor,
like displayed here:
https://fisheye3.atlassian.com/browse/dspace/dspace/trunk/dspace/config/dspace.cfg?hb=true#to411
Finally, make sure the "PowerPoint Text Extractor" is setup to take in two
input formats: "Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Powerpoint XML", like displayed
here:
https://fisheye3.atlassian.com/browse/dspace/dspace/trunk/dspace/config/dspace.cfg?hb=true#to419
You'll then need to make sure your "Bitstream Format Registry" has a definition
for "Microsoft Powerpoint XML" (pptx).
Again, assuming you are running on an out-of-the-box 1.7.x, all of the above
settings should be enabled by default. So, it should just work.
