GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 168028
Beagle hangs while indexing "Powerpoint files of version 95/97-2000" (not a "Presentation")

Please describe the problem: In Microsoft office, users can save a file as "Microsoft Powerpoint 95" or "Microsoft Powerpoint 97-2000" which seems to be different than the normal "Presentation" type. Beagle hangs while indexing such documents. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create few slides in Microsoft Office 2. Save the file as "Microsoft Powerpoint 97-2000" 3. do ./beagle-extract-content <saved-powerpoint-file> Actual results: command hangs and no output Expected results: Either content should be extracted or exception should be thrown. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: These files seem to have a different type of file-header or sort of. Either beagle should support or just log an exception and skip the file.
Fixed in CVS.
