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?
I'd post then if no one seems more clueful then just either post a bug report or patch. We're about to commit more stuff here so its possible it may be fixed but uncommitted.
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
