The PowerPoint support filter modules (PowerPoint Filter, Office Open XML Filter) deliver better thumbnail and preview quality for PowerPoint assets than the Compound Document Filter, but the Compound Document Filter is faster, does not require PowerPoint and works on all platforms. To employ the PowerPoint support filter modules for cataloging those formats it supports, you have to move the format entries up in the list at least before the corresponding entries of the Compound Document Filter.
BACKGROUND INFO: Sequence of Formats
When cataloging, Cumulus starts searching for matching formats. Cumulus employs the formats according to their entry numbers (lowest entry number first) in the Asset Formats list of the employed Asset Handling Set.
NOTE: for macOS only For PowerPoint 2008 assets (*.pptx and *.ppsx) numbered thumbnails will be created for slides, no individual ones. Previewing a slide will display its thumbnail. These restrictions are due to the fact that Microsoft decided to remove the VBA/OLE technology from Office 2008 for OS X.
