Description oh2mqk 2010-02-28 18:54:36 UTC 
Opening MSOFFICE 2010 PPTX file named as .ppt fails in curious ways as the
system does not expect to see a ZIP archive of PPTX.

Input file: 
http://lhc-commissioning.web.cern.ch/lhc-commissioning/news-2010/presentations/status-280210.ppt

This happened with Fedora Rawhide
  openoffice.org-impress-3.2.0-12.8.fc13.x86_64
Build Date: Thu 25 Feb 2010 07:52:45 PM EET


As this is what users of MSOFFICE 2010 are doing with their files, OpenOffice
should follow the behaviour and be able to open PPTX files even when they are
named PPT.  "The path of least surprise."

This is for sure not a defect as the defect is already the renaming of the file ....
Reassigned.

Comment 4 lohmaier 2010-03-19 21:25:26 UTC 
confirming. with the ppt OOo shows the "damaged file - attempt a repair?" dialog

Back to defect beacuse:

Choose "no" (don't repair) results in 
"file couldn't be repaired and thus cannot be opened", dismiss with the only 
button (OK)
"damaged file - attempt a repair"-dialog comes up again. Again say "no"
"file couldn't be repaired and thus cannot be opened", again dismiss with the 
only button (OK)

→ now OOo loads the file 
(loading the sample is very slow (100% CPU for a while), see issue 109689)
Comment 5 wolframgarten 2010-03-26 09:32:27 UTC 
@cloph: your addition is about another problem in the repair dialog. The
original summary is about something completely different.
Setting to enhancement again. Reassigned.
