presentation loader does not work fine in Windows using Powerpoint Viewer 2007

[barbu ben]

When trying to add a presentation using just the Powerpoint Viewer controller (I also have OpenOffice) it won't work - it just shows and "x" mark where the thumbnail should be and it doesn't work. It does however add it if I use the OpenOffice Impress controller.

Specs: PC, Celeron M, 512 MB RAM, ATI, Windows XP SP3, OpenLP 1.9.3, PowerPoint Viewer 2007 (VC++ 2008 redistributable installed), OpenOffice 3.2.1

I experience the same behavior using Impress, I also get this output when I attempt to go live:

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/wesley/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/plugins/presentations/lib/messagelistener.py", line 263, in startup
    file = os.path.join(item.get_frame_path(),
  File "/home/wesley/Projects/openlp/trunk/openlp/core/lib/serviceitem.py", line 400, in get_frame_path
    return self._raw_frames[row][u'path']
IndexError: list index out of range

get the same errors using Open Office 3.2 or LibreOffice 3.3

what steps have you undertaken to reproduce this?
It looks like the presentation is asking for a preview slide which does not exist.

Hi Tim, This appears to be the same bug as these two.

check # 10 on this one

Tim, everytime I attempt to load I get that. I get it with .ppt and .ods formats. What else do I need to do? I also get it with libreoffice and openoffice.
