Click Me!
Dear Joel,
 
Every time I receive an e-mail message with a .pps or .ppsx file I want to keep, I save it on my hard disk. If I want to edit the saved file, I click on it and LibreOffice Impress appropriately takes over, but it doesn't let me edit the file. The slide presentation immediately begins, and whether I let it go up to the end or I interrupt it, it doesn't matter: the file is closed and I can't edit it.
 
I remember very well it didn't use to be so. I used to have to click on the slide presentation option of the Impress editing interface if I wanted to watch the presentation received via e-mail.
 
I don't remember the OpenOffice version that first prevented me from editing the presentations received.
 
Even if I first start Impress and then open the file, the same happens.
 
Once I searched the Internet about this issue and I found an answer to someone about the same problem. The answer said one should change the filename extension from .ppsx to .ppt before trying to edit the file with the new Impress (new at that time). I did it and it worked. And I adopted this procedure since then (.ppt instead of .pps or .ppsx). It's annoying, though.
 
I acknowledge I should have reported it long before, but I think it's not too late.
 
My intention is just to contribute to your nice work of fixing and improving LibreOffice.
 
Best wishes.

Comment # 1 on bug 61772 from
@Cesar - this bug isn't clear at all - what are you talking about that you have
to change the extension? Please provide a clearer explanation of the issue,
attach a document if that might help, and also please update the summary of the
bug to reflect the issue.

Marking as NEEDINFO as this bug doesn't describe the issue clearly. Once you
describe the issue better and update the summary/title please mark but as
UNCONFIRMED

Just for a heads up, I don't have to ever update extension of a file and can
open so I suspect it's some other issue just need a clearer explanation.
