Office2007.wdx plugin (v. 0.0.3)

[fenix_productions]

Hi all.

While playing (still) with tinyXML I wrote new content plugin.

Office2007.wdx v.0.0.3

Allows you to see MS Office 2007 XML files properties.

Microsoft Office 2007 is not needed for this plugin to work!

Supported fields are:

- core - Category, ContentStatus, ContentType, Created, Creator, Description, Identifier, Keywords, Language, LastModifiedBy, LastPrinted, Modified, Revision, Subject, Title, Version;

- application specific - AppVersion, Application, Characters, CharactersWithSpaces, Company, DigitalSig, DigitalSigExt, DocSecurityLevel, HiddenSlides, HyperlinkBase, HyperlinksChanged, Lines, LinksUpToDate, MMClips, Manager, Notes, Pages, Paragraphs, PresentationFormat, ScaleCrop, SharedDoc, Slides, Template, TotalTime, TotalTimeMin, Words, Titles*, Content*;

By default only four extensions are set (DOCX, PPSX, PPTX, XLSX) but you can add more.

Please, test it and report any bugs

*) Titles and Content fields can be used in search only!

Suggestion: auto-installation file (pluginst.inf).
.wdx should be in the root arc folder.

.wdx should be in the root arc folder.

I always forget about it. It will be done ASAP.

Like "old" OOInfo?

I will add ft_fulltext field for slides/pages/sheets names.

I can't promise but I will try giving text from whole document.

[fenix_productions]

Version 0.0.2 released.

I've added two more fields for searching:
- Titles - slides/sheets/pages names,
- Content - documents' content.

Good: thanks.

0.0.3 is out!

I've fixed bugs found in WLX plugin.

I have also added/corrected UTF-8 conversion so national characters should be displayed properly now (please check).

The plugin "cdocprop" offers to display user-defined properties (but not for Office 2007). Is there a way to display it in your plugin too?

I will try to find a time to take look on that on weekend but I can't promise success (haven't been touching c++ since last release).

I would also appreciate if you could send me few files with custom props (I don't personally own MS Office).

I had tried to make everything work last time and it was truly easy (treat document as zip, unpack specific XML from it and parse).

Unfortunately: it is only for ANSI version and since Unicode is preferred these days I was trying to get it work as such… without any luck.
I have spent whole day yesterday on it (C++ is not my strong side) and I just can't get this work

Technical note:
If I set project to multibyte it compiles perfectly well but archives do not open because library I use tries to get ANSI methods calls.
If I set everything to Unicode, I have dozen of type conversion errors I can't fix without pulling my hairs out

You wrote that you use a ZIP- and another code-package to handle the properties. Did you try the Property-DLL from Microsoft?

Did you try the Property-DLL from Microsoft?

Do you mean the one that comes with MS Office I do not own?

The main reason behind this plugin was to know Office 2007 files properties without buying MS suite and Open Office was extremely slow opening files.

[Peter]

I meant "DocumentFormat.OpenXml.dll" from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb448854

Maybe this can help you?

Unfortunately, it seems to be for managed code (.NET)… hence no use.
