Current behavior: I have updated to the latest version of libre offica and still can't open files. Expected behavior: Operating System: Windows 8 Version: 4.0.4.2 release
Hi, Can you attach the files pls? Thanks for the report! Cor
Created attachment 85478 [details] Can't open this file I have attached the file.
I can confirm that with LO 4.0.5.2 (Win7 32bit), PPV 14 also can't open that file.
thanks - able to reproduce
I am not sure what all this means. Is it a corrupted file. Do I need to redo the presentation?

In order for this one to be a valid bug, it must be clear whether: - this is FILESAVE bug, in which case you need to attach your source ODP (same presentation saved in ODP first) OR - this is FILEOPEN bug - but this PPTX can't be open with free Microsoft Viewer, so it seems definitely corrupted. Good practice is to make documents in ODF and that save as Microsoft OXML, if needed.
And please if you reply, do not keep the message text, or better, reply via web.
Possibly related to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91611 because it's the same "General Error. General input/output error." message
