ppsei 0.2


-> What is this ppsei?

ppsei (PPS Extract Images) is a simple command line program (written in C),
which TRY to extract images from Microsoft PowerPoint Documents (PPS/PPT).

-> Why this program?

Because i get a lot of mails with attached PPS/PPT in,
containing some nice images (about universe, about pretty
girls, etc). The sender people are using this
file format as an image-container, or image-encapsulator.
They could use tar/zip/..., but somehow PPS is the general.
On *nix systems only resource-consume application can handle this
file formats (openoffice, wine + win.exe), so i decided to write
this tool.

-> What kind of images?

Currently only JPEG and PNG files can be extracted. Because the PPS file format
is not so well-documented as the gnumeric :-), there is no guarantee, that all
images will be grabbed correctly. But the experience is, that it works!

-> How can it be used?

As i said, this is a command line program: you can call it from SHELL
(or from favorite email software). It takes only the PPS file(s) as
argument, and will extract all detected images to the current directory:
$ ppsei universe.pps beauty-islands.ppt
...
$ gqview (start here some image viewer application, to see the result)

That is all
