PPTX link: Open with PowerPoint on Mac

PPTX link: Open with PowerPoint on Mac

[Nathan Neff]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 408 bytes --]

Hello all,

I have a simple path in org-mode

/Users/nate/some_pptx.pptx

When I press C-c C-o it opens the file in binary mode in Emacs.

A path to a PDF will actually open the file with the associated program:
/Users/nate/some_png.png -> Opens in Preview when I press C-c C-o

How can I get emacs / org to open pptx files in the same fashion as if I had
double-clicked using Finder on Mac?

Thanks,
--Nate

I think you may have to put “file+sys:/“ before your path.

For example: file+sys://Users/nate/some_pptx.pptx

Best,
Takaaki

Here it is: https://orgmode.org/manual/External-Links.html#External-Links

I was looking here:
https://orgmode.org/manual/External-links.html - but wait, what's the
difference?  Whoa, the
"l" is lower case on the second link - looks like a doc / publishing bug -
one page has 4.3 and the
other says 4.4.

What do I need to do to report this doc / publishing bug?

Thanks,
--Nate

Just for your information, org-lint says:

  3892 high  Deprecated "file+sys" link type

in my private org file. I don’t know what is the replacement.

Takaaki
