Hi, you have to export/convert the PowerPoint to PDF, then import it.

I might add some sort of PowerPoint conversion for more than just text sometime in the future.

I just tried covering it to pdf and it would not import to freeshow. I am using Mac book pro 2019 AS WELL

Hmm... Did you click on "PDF" in the import popup, select and open the .pdf file, then waited for 3-10 seconds?

It's working fine on Windows, so I can see if I can fix it if it's a problem on just Mac!

Okay. You are doing everything correct!

I suppose it's not working on Mac for some reason, so I will investigate the issue and let you know when there are any updates on this issue! 😊

In the meantime you can use an online PPT to JPG converter, create a new show, and just drag in all the images!

Okay, I will investigate!

It seems like the package I use does not support Linux. Also I guess it's not fully supported on MacOS either. I have looked at many different alternatives, but all of the other ones requires you to install a third party application (like imagemagick, ghostscript or python), to convert the PDF to an image. So I guess I'm just gonna close this for now, until there is a better alternative!
