Is it possible to add support for "/select,file:///..." URIs? about python-pptx HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm, I can't find a place where python-pptx is making that replacement.

How do you know that's what's happening? I think you would need to inspect the "rels file" for the slide in question, it will be in the .pptx file (which is a zip archive) named something like ppt/slides/_rels/slide1.xml.rels.

You're looking for an entry like:

<Relationship Id="rId2" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/{something like hyperlink}" Target="some-url"/>

From what I can tell, whatever you give to hlink.address goes here without any changes. So you might need to check the same entry on a .pptx file that behaves the way you want to see what it puts there and how to copy it.

The issue is not in python-pptx as you say. I did further debugging, and python-pptx does indeed produce the correct URI. Debugging the function relate_to() and printing self._rels.xml gave:

b'<?xml version=\'1.0\' encoding=\'UTF-8\' standalone=\'yes\'?>\n<Relationships xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/relationships"><Relationship Id="rId1" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/slideLayout" Target="../slideLayouts/slideLayout2.xml"/><Relationship Id="rId2" Type="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships/hyperlink" Target="/select,file:///home/nils/Bilete/2024/20231107_110023.mp4" TargetMode="External"/></Relationships>'

I verified the PPT indeed included the /select,file:///... URI by unzipping the pptx file and searching all files for this URI.

The problem I experience is elsewhere (in LibreOffice, which I used).

Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for checking the bug report!
