Index out of range when saving presentation

[andreacalvi]

Hi,
I am having an issue when interacting with this particular ppt.
The issue is related to a specific chart in the presentation named "ChartObject" that, when removed, it makes the conversion work.
Interesting fact to highlight: if I save as PDF it works with no issue.

Well sorry I could've attached the file only.
Here you go and minimal code here

Code: Select all

            var fileName = @"test.pptx";
            Presentation ppt = new Presentation();
            ppt.LoadFromFile(fileName);
            var finalPpt = new Presentation();
            finalPpt.Slides.RemoveAt(0);
            finalPpt.SlideSize.Type = ppt.SlideSize.Type;
            var generatedSlide = ppt.Slides[0];
            finalPpt.Slides.Append(generatedSlide);
            //finalPpt.SaveToFile(@"C:\temp\out.pdf", FileFormat.PDF); //this works
            finalPpt.SaveToFile(@"C:\temp\out.pptx", FileFormat.Pptx2010); //this throws error

Hi, if this can help, there's a "similar" case with this template as well.
In this case no error is thrown but output is corrupted. Code can really be the same, just fetching first slide and saving it back.

Found an issue with the new release.

Problem:
when cloning a slide, if the slide has a chart and the chart has a string in the data container, then the chart's range is wiped out. This should not happen.

Cause:
Strings (i.e. "abc") in data (blue container) causes this to happen.

Solution:
The chart's range should persist after the slide is cloned.

To reproduce the error:
1. use this pptx below,
2. clone the slide to a new pptx
3. open the chart's data and you will notice the chart's range is lost

if you did this in powerpoint manually the chart's range will persist.

One additional question: from the moment we applied the update for the .net standard 2.0 dll we are receiving the evaluation warning even tho we provided a valid license key (the one we used with the version prior to the hotfix).
Is there any additional step to follow to upgrade it?

Thank you,
