Special Characters not interpreted in published zipped files

Hi Guido!

Have you downloaded Studio '13 Update 2? Do you still see this behavior?

No. I'm downloading it now, and will get back to you after checking. Thanks.

Hi Leslie,

I updted the Studio 13 pack, and then published to the web the same PPTX/PPTA file, zipped and uploaded to Moodle. Unzipping in Moodle I get the same result: the titles of the 4 files with special characters repeat the same mistake, and thus are not found in the resulting presentation.

In the Presentation Content folder before zipping, the names of these 4 files  are OK, so "View presentation" before zipping and unzipping works OK.

I loaded the 4 "good files" into the unzipped Presentation Content folder in Moodle in order to check if the commanding file up there was searching for  the correct files and not finding them: no success.

Attached is the zipped file.

I can try to work around, remove these figures from the PPT templates and put them separately in each slide, thus trying to avoid the automatic naming of the swf files out of my control, but I believe we need to know what's happening here, and eventually this needs to be fixed.

Let me have your input. Regards,

Guido

Hi Guido, looks like it is pulling that name from somewhere, is that what your swf is called?  Or is that the name of the flash project?

Hi Phil and Leslie,

The questtion was: where in the PPT is this special character in the swf file-name  (" ... diseño... " , meaning design) coming from?

After several random trials, I got it. I had a "preserved slide master" in the presentation. Eliminating this second master, the label with this special spanish character disappeared.

So that's where the whole mess originated. Apparently the zip /unzip can´t handle special characters (particularly if the unzipper is out of our control, as it is embedded in Moodle).

Makes sense?
