Hi All
I'm trying to use DDF to handle the Escher records in PowerPoint, as part
of my PowerPoint support. As part of this, I'm seeing quite a lot of
problems with the DDF support.
What's the best course of action here? Should I file a bunch of bug
reports, and discuss if I've correctly understood how things should work
there? Shall I post them here for discussion?
Here are a couple of samples:
* atom of type F00D is of type msofbtClientTextbox, but
DefaultEscherRecordFactory is returning it as EscherContainerRecord
* atom of type F010 (msofbtClientAnchor / EscherClientAnchorRecord) is
sometimes returning a length (via record.getRecordSize()) of 26, when
it's only 16 on the disk. A call to record.toString() includes
"Extra Data: error" at the bottom
* it appears that the only way to handle an entry containing
RecordContainer
RecordContainer
Record
Record
Record
is to grab the atom lengths from offset 5 in the header, and walk on
yourself making repeated calls to DefaultEscherRecordFactory - there's
no way to know how far to skip on by calling methods of a record, and
there's nothing to return a tree of records
Cheers
Nick
