I got send a .pptx File
The System (Opensuse 13.1 with KDE Current ) tried to open it with Okular.
If it is dolphin/konqueror then it is becuase you have it configured that way.
On my system (13.1/KDE 4.11.5), Okular is also the default app associated with .pptx. I tried all the .pptx files on my system (12), and everyone of them crashed Okular on startup.
However I found this blog post, and one of the commenters claims Okular does open pptx for him: http://tsdgeos.blogspot.dk/2012/01/okular-014-released.html
I wonder if some buildtime/runtime dependency for Okular is missing on openSUSE?
This is exactly one of those little polish issues, which have a pretty big impact on the user experience, and which are probably fairly easy to fix.
I once made a collection of the 20-30 most common file types, and checked what happened when simply clicking each of them in KDE on every openSUSE beta - actually quite often the mime-type associations are pretty bad, meaning that supported file types don't open, or open in undesirable apps. Maybe I should start doing that again when testing 13.2.
Stangely from the system I'm using pptx is only associated to LibreOffice Impress, Ark which is right since I don't have Calligra installed. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Board GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot ~~~Don't take Life too serious.
