Short: Converts PowerPoint to Hollywood script Author: Mathias 'Corto' Parnaudeau (pointrider free fr) Uploader: Mathias 'Corto' Parnaudeau (pointrider free fr) Type: dev/hwood Version: 0.20 Architecture: m68k-amigaos With MeltingPoint, you can convert PPS files that you receive into Hollywood 2.5 projects. It allows you to : - export images in a directory - have the Hollywood script to modify the presentation with better effect I sincerely would like to thank Andreas Falkenhan for his generous gift and its amazing work on Hollywood (special thanks for the text engine, Andreas ;-) What's new ? After the first basic version, MeltingPoint 0.20 is synchronized with PointRider 0.50. That means : - background is supported : color, image - objects inherited from master slide are displayed - text rendering is far better : paragraph alignement, font size and color, attributes How to use it ? MeltingPoint FILE/A,FORMAT/K,DESTDIR/K FILE : PowerPoint (PPS/PPT) file to convert (mandatory) FORMAT : Chosen format among available ones (hollywood or hws is the same) (default) DESTDIR : Destination directory (default is current dir), a subdirectory will be created Warning : If a used font is missing in your font directory, choose one that is available modifying the script. Maybe an option could be added to do that automatically ... For example : MeltingPoint holidays.pps DESTDIR=ram: This will create a subdirectory "ram:holidays". Images and the Hollywood script (holidays.hws) will be put inside it. Just enter the following line to start the display : Hollywood ram:holidays/holidays.hws
