Slide Deck Viewer

Slide Deck Viewer opens .pptx slide decks as a read-only inspection view inside the app. It focuses on slide text, speaker notes, media metadata, relationships, warnings, and package diagnostics.

Features

• Opens .pptx files from the file explorer with a dedicated read-only view.
• Parses the local OOXML zip package in the plugin with no cloud conversion.
• Shows slide navigation, extracted text, speaker notes, media references, and package diagnostics.
• Filters slide text, speaker notes, and media metadata.
• Warns about external relationships, embedded OLE/package content, macros, large decks, encrypted files, and malformed packages.
• Caps large render lists so big decks stay responsive.

Non-goals

• No .ppt legacy binary support in v0.1.
• No editing, saving, annotation, export, or write-back.
• No pixel-perfect PowerPoint rendering.
• No macro, VBA, OLE, or embedded object execution.
• No remote fonts, remote images, network calls, or cloud conversion.
• No launching PowerPoint, Keynote, LibreOffice, or another external viewer.
• No Markdown slide authoring or presentation mode.
