Created attachment 182423 [details] pps file that won't open because of version eror
I tried to open the file and had the same result as you did. I also tried to open it in OnlyOffice and it did not open as well... but I got a message saying that the file is password protected.
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. Here's part of the code which fails: 1448 ReadDffRecordHeader( rStCtrl, aDocAtomHd ); 1449 if ( aDocHd.nRecType == PPT_PST_Document && aDocAtomHd.nRecType == PPT_PST_DocumentAtom ) 1450 { 1451 aDocAtomHd.SeekToBegOfRecord( rStCtrl ); 1452 ReadPptDocumentAtom( rStCtrl, aDocAtom ); 1453 } 1454 else 1455 m_bOk = false; (see https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/filter/source/msfilter/svdfppt.cxx?r=8611f6e2#1448) (gdb) p aDocHd.nRecType $9 = 45597 (gdb) p aDocAtomHd.nRecType $10 = 22945
