Rebranding Update

• PPTCombiner has now been renamed to Presentation Combiner
  • The binary name has been changed to reflect this (e.g. PPTCombiner_Portable_x.y.exe to PresentationCombiner_Portable_x.y.exe)
  • An icon has been added to the project.

Bugfix Update

Fixed Drag & Drop not triggering Undo and Redo functionality.

• All operations now go through the command model.

UI Update

• Added Undo button and keybind (CTRL+Z)
• Added Redo button and keybind (CTRL+Y).
• Made folder names clearer when added as merge targets
  • They should no longer be paths (e.g. ~wierd-folder/pthname)
• Added paths are now in a GridView for cleaner formatting. The columns may be manually adjusted by the user.
• You can now press DEL to delete the current selection.
• The starting help text, shown when no merge targets have been added, is now more prominent.

UI Update

Added multi-selection and delete selected keybind (press DEL to delete your current selection). Dealt with some small selection bugs.

UI Update

This is a UI update for PPTCombiner. It will still function the same as previous versions. Contains improved UI for Win7 users.

PPTCombiner Compatability Improvements

This is a minor release of PPTCombiner to improve compatibility on clean OS installs. PPTCombiner now runs on the .NET 4.0 framework (v.s. 4.5) and should run on most Win7 setups. Booting issues were also fixed that were causing issues.

Combine away!

PPT Combiner UI

PPTCombiner v2.0 (UI implementation)

Combining slides just got easier! PPTCombiner has been remade in C#/F# and compiled into one executable to make it as easy as possible to get the job done. Run the executable, add the files/directories you need to merge, hit merge, and your combined presentation will magically form in front of your eyes!

Known Issues

• Error on merging. Upon merging slides a COMException will be thrown if Microsoft Powerpoint is not installed.
• Error on booting. Without .NET 4.5 installed PPTCombiner will crash upon booting. A basekernel.dll exception will be shown when this occurs. If you are having this problem please install .NET 4.5 redistributable.
• Limited file support. Only .ppt and .pptx files may be combined at the moment. However, Microsoft Powerpoint can easily combine a variety of files. The supported file list will be expanded in the next version.

Upcoming Fixes

• Better warning messages. Upon booting, PPTCombiner will check if Microsoft Powerpoint is installed and display an appropriate warning message.
• Better failure handling. PPTCombiner will be rebuilt with .NET 3.5 classes and (if possible) a runtime check will be implemented to give the user the appropriate information for installing .NET 3.5.
• Further file support. After internal testing, the collection of supported file extensions shall be extended.
