PowerPoint Presentation can be shown in windowed mode

Pumba

Hi,

I have found a bug in the PowerPoint integration. It doesn’t account for a incorrect show type setting in PowerPoint.

To reproduce the issue:

Open PowerPoint
Go to Slide Show -> Set Up Slide Show -> Browsed by an individual (window).
Save the current presentation.
Close PowerPoint
Use OpenLP to display this presentation. (It will open in a windowed mode)

If the presentation isn't saved before closing PowerPoint, this option could easily be modified at runtime without changing the settings outside of OpenLP. This could be done by using "self.presentation.SlideShowSettings.ShowType = 1" in the load_presentation() method of powerpointcontroller.py, if I'm not mistaken.

I confirm the problem. I was using OpenLP on a Windows Notebook and I had problems to get the presentation to fullscreen. It always showed the window frames. We had to mitigate by converting the pptx to PDF; luckily it was possible in that case because there were no fancy effects needed.
