# Where DeckCraft falls short of PowerPoint

> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-14 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-14 · **Change:** major (community PR wave 2026-10-14: soak tests, PPTX corpus, comment threads (#70), embedded fonts, SmartArt Text Pane, Animation Pane timeline, Hunspell spelling, thesaurus, AutoCorrect, 14 new dialogs, pen pressure and trackpad gestures; duplicated entries and headers folded; previous: minor, 3-D bevel, camera and face lighting rendered) · **Target:** Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac 16.113 (Microsoft 365)

Every known shortfall, one entry each, ranked by how much it stops someone who presents with
PowerPoint from switching. This is the work list: pick from the top. Numbers are summarized in
[target-app-parity.md](target-app-parity.md); the feature-by-feature scores are in
[parity-checklist.md](parity-checklist.md). Hours are Opus 5.5 agent wall-clock hours including
tests (calibration in [target-app-parity.md](target-app-parity.md#calibration-how-the-hours-were-derived)).
`B` marks a gap that blocks **beta**. None blocks **alpha**: all six core workflows pass the
[alpha gate](roadmap.md#alpha-gate-powerpoints-core-workflows).

When a gap closes, delete its entry, update the parity doc it points to, and add a line to the
revision history.

## Stability

### Close discards an edited presentation without asking (#60)
- **Evidence:** issue #60; quitting prompts, `file.close` doesn't. PR #75 is open.
- **Impact:** silent data loss on a common path. The worst kind of bug for a presentation app.
- **Estimate:** 0.5–1 h (land and test #75). **Beta blocker.**

### Startup crashes on some Windows GPUs (#40, #59)
- **Evidence:** #59 (Intel UHD, access violation in `igvk64.dll` during Vulkan enumeration), #40
  (WordCraft, GridCraft and DeckCraft all fail on one Windows 11 PC). The DX12 default (#16) fixed
  AMD's `atio6axx.dll` crash only.
- **Impact:** the app never opens for those users.
- **Estimate:** 4–8 h (backend probing outside the process or a safe-mode fallback, a software
  renderer path). Needs a tester with the hardware. **Beta blocker.**

### Soak testing has no memory or timing budgets
- **Evidence:** `crates/engine/src/soak_tests.rs` runs seeded random command sequences over a
  ~100-slide deck (validity, selection, undo/redo exactness, bounded undo, save/reopen in both
  formats every 100 steps); `DECKCRAFT_SOAK_STEPS` runs it long. It found a chart `clamp` panic
  that blanked whole slides. `crates/ui-egui/src/ui_soak_tests.rs` drives the whole window with
  seeded random clicks, drags, keys (plain, Ctrl, Shift), typing and scrolling over the sample
  deck, checking document validity, bounded undo/journal/thumbnail/texture caches, zero caught
  command and render panics (`Session::panics_caught`, `deckcraft_render::panics_caught`) and a
  mean frame under 250 ms; 4 × 3000-action runs are clean.
- **Impact:** long-session crash rate is sampled in CI; RSS is not measured directly.
- **Estimate:** 1–2 h (RSS sampling per platform).

## File formats

Detail in [file-format-parity.md](file-format-parity.md).

### PPTX corpus is only decks we author
- **Evidence:** every PPTX test (`crates/pptx/tests`) uses decks built in this repo; the
  2026-10-07 alpha checklist already listed this as open, and no reference renders from PowerPoint
  exist to compare against. The owned corpus checks open → save → reopen (package parts and text):
  `corpus.rs` (a talk with a table, chart, picture, link and comment; a notes master's header and
  footer), `corpus_kinds.rs` (tables, charts, animations, media, sections, several masters and
  layouts; a handout master's header, footer, date and slide number), `corpus_elements.rs`
  (comments, hyperlinks and actions, custom shows, grouped rotated objects, placeholders that
  inherit from the layout), `corpus_style.rs` (text effects, autofit, columns, vertical and RTL
  text, tab stops, line spacing, theme effects, gradient and pattern fills, 3-D bevels,
  connectors), `corpus_themes.rs` (PowerPoint-shaped themes and two masters with their layouts,
  effects, text and shape hyperlinks and actions), `corpus_charts.rs` (a combo chart with data
  labels and trendlines, a merged table with diagonal borders, text columns, autofit, vertical
  text, a WordArt warp) and `corpus_media.rs` (SmartArt and OLE kept as XML, with no diagram or
  embedding parts, which stay with #203; audio and video bookmarks and trims; a section holding a
  hidden slide; slide-number and date fields; ink as freeform lines; `.glb` 3-D models; animation
  repeat, bounce end and triggers). Losses these checks found are fixed: notes- and handout-master
  text, paragraph default run properties (`defRPr`, including a link), action sounds, a run's
  inner shadow, reflection and soft edge, a bevel preset with no kept `sp3d`, and text Mouse Over
  actions. Still open: media options (#74), animation rewind (#77) and a corpus of decks from
  outside this repo.
- **Impact:** the main reason to switch is "open my PowerPoint decks". Fidelity on real decks
  (corporate templates, SmartArt, `chartex` charts, embedded fonts, EMF) is still mostly unknown.
- **Estimate:** 20–35 h: grow the owned corpus in `storytold/photocraft-corpus` style (craftrules
  `standards/test-corpora.md`), add render checks, have the owner open outputs in PowerPoint, fix
  what breaks. **Beta blocker.**

### Round trip loses media playback options and animation rewind (#74, #77)
- **Evidence:** issues filed 2026-10-10 by an automated reviewer; media playback options and the
  animation rewind flag aren't written back. Comment threads left with #70: the writer now emits
  the `p188` modern part next to the legacy one.
- **Impact:** a deck opened and saved silently loses show behaviour.
- **Estimate:** 2–4 h. **Beta blocker.**

### SVG pictures don't render
- **Evidence:** `crates/render/src/images.rs` decodes through `image` 0.25 (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF,
  TIFF, BMP), and EMF/WMF through `deckcraft-metafile` (ported from WordCraft: paths, fills, pens,
  pattern and hatch brushes, bitmaps and text; rectangle clip regions are applied, EMF+ only
  pictures play their EMF+ records).
  Nothing reads SVG; PowerPoint's Insert Icons stores SVG with a PNG fallback.
- **Impact:** SVG icons show only their raster fallback, and SVG files can't be inserted.
- **Estimate:** 4–8 h (an SVG renderer through `resvg`-style crates).

### Template, slide-show and macro variants are saved as plain `.pptx`
- **Evidence:** `crates/pptx/src/write/mod.rs` always writes the
  `presentationml.presentation.main+xml` content type; `.potx`/`.ppsx` open, `.pptm`/`.potm`/`.ppsm`
  aren't recognised.
- **Impact:** a template saved as `.potx` isn't a template to PowerPoint; macro decks can't be
  opened even to view.
- **Estimate:** 2–4 h (content types; keep `vbaProject.bin` untouched without running it).

### No legacy `.ppt`/`.pot`/`.pps` import
- **Evidence:** PowerPoint for Mac still opens and saves the 97–2003 binary formats
  (`CFBundleDocumentTypes`); DeckCraft doesn't read them.
- **Impact:** archives of older decks don't open.
- **Estimate:** 20–35 h (import only, from the public [MS-PPT] spec). Owner decision whether it's
  worth it.

### No OpenDocument `.odp`
- **Evidence:** PowerPoint opens and saves `.odp`.
- **Impact:** LibreOffice users and public-sector exchange.
- **Estimate:** 12–20 h (read and write the common subset).

### PDF export rasterizes slide artwork
- **Evidence:** `crates/pdf` places each slide as an image under a selectable text layer, links and
  bookmarks.
- **Impact:** large PDFs; blurry when zoomed or printed.
- **Estimate:** 5–8 h (vector paths, fills and text through the PDF writer). **Beta blocker.**

### No printing
- **Evidence:** checklist row "Print" is missing; PR #66 (browser print) is open.
- **Impact:** handouts and speaker notes are printed in many workplaces.
- **Estimate:** 5–8 h (print through the PDF path and each OS's print dialog). **Beta blocker.**

### No video export; the animated GIF has no transitions or builds
- **Evidence:** checklist row "Export video (MP4) / animated GIF" is partial: `file.export` writes
  an animated GIF with one frame per slide (#171), but there is no MP4/MOV export, and the GIF
  doesn't animate transitions or build animations.
- **Impact:** sharing a talk as a video is a common request.
- **Estimate:** 10–16 h (render the timeline frame by frame, which the GIF can then reuse for
  transitions and builds; an H.264 encoder is the hard part, FilmCraft has one to copy).

### Embedded MicroType Express font subsets aren't drawn
- **Evidence:** `p:embeddedFontLst` is read and written. A raw TrueType/OpenType face, or one inside an Embedded OpenType wrapper, is loaded and used to draw. A MicroType Express subset (`application/x-fontdata` with neither form) is kept and written back, and the text still uses a stand-in.
- **Impact:** decks that embed a MicroType subset reflow until that face is installed.
- **Estimate:** 3–5 h.

## Features

### Font weights beyond Regular, Bold and Italic (#69)
- **Evidence:** #69; the font database maps a family to four faces.
- **Impact:** Light, Medium and Semibold headings (common in modern templates) render wrong.
- **Estimate:** 3–5 h. **Beta blocker.**

### Image paste fails on Windows and Linux (#53)
- **Evidence:** #53 (v0.3.0, Fedora AppImage and Windows).
- **Impact:** copy-paste of screenshots is a core workflow.
- **Estimate:** 2–4 h. **Beta blocker.**

### Charts: data grid, elements and the newer chart types
- **Evidence:** checklist rows "Edit chart data" (P0, partial), "Chart elements" (partial), "Other
  chart types" (partial); `chartex` parts (waterfall, funnel, treemap, sunburst, histogram, Pareto,
  box & whisker) are read, drawn, inserted, edited and saved as `chartEx` (kept unchanged, else
  written from the model, with a plain chart fallback). Waterfalls float and total, funnels,
  treemaps (squarified, nested by level with group banners) and sunbursts (one ring per level)
  have their own layouts, histograms and Paretos bin their data (count, width or Scott's rule),
  and box & whisker charts use exclusive or inclusive quartiles with 1.5 IQR whiskers. Region maps are kept
  (their cached geography too, also through edits) and drawn as value-coloured tiles with a
  colour scale, since DeckCraft ships no map boundaries. Radar charts are drawn polar (filled
  or lines), stock charts as high-low lines with close dashes or up/down bars and saved as
  `c:stockChart`, and combo charts start as columns with a line. Trendlines round-trip
  (`corpus_charts.rs`) and are drawn: linear, exponential, logarithmic, polynomial, power and
  moving average, with forecast and the equation and R² label. A moving average is drawn with
  neither label. A combo chart's secondary value axis is read (`y2_*`,
  `Series.secondary_axis`) and is not written back when the chart is rebuilt.
  An unchanged chart's embedded workbook now survives save (#335); editing the chart still
  drops it rather than writing a stale spreadsheet.
- **Impact:** most business decks have charts; editing their data is routine.
- **Estimate:** 12–20 h. Data and elements are **beta blockers** (6–10 h).

### SmartArt editing is shallow
- **Evidence:** a SmartArt graphic keeps its outline (`Shape.diagram`) and has a Text Pane, Add
  Shape, Promote, Demote, Remove and layout switching (`crates/engine/src/cmd/smartart.rs`). On
  `.pptx` the outline is written as a real diagram (data, layout, quick style, colours and the
  cached drawing; `crates/pptx/src/dgm.rs`), and PowerPoint diagrams read their outline from the
  data model, so they get the Text Pane too. 15 layouts (bullet and block lists, five process, two cycle and
  a radial, hierarchy, two pyramids, two matrices), four SmartArt Styles and Change Colors
  (colourful or one accent). Still missing: DeckCraft's own layout definitions are simple (not yet
  checked in PowerPoint itself); PowerPoint has ~200 layouts, picture layouts and 3-D styles; editing an
  imported diagram's outline redraws it with DeckCraft's layout; a diagram with no cached drawing
  isn't drawn.
- **Impact:** a PowerPoint diagram edited in DeckCraft changes look.
- **Estimate:** 6–10 h.

### Animation Pane, effect count and preview
Animations ▸ Preview and the pane's Play All play the current slide's animations on the editor
canvas (Escape or a click stops them), and the pane has an advanced timeline with draggable bars
(`crates/ui-egui/src/animtimeline.rs`). Still open: previewing from the selected effect, and most
of the effect gallery. Detail in [animation-parity.md](animation-parity.md). 8–14 h; the pane is a
**beta blocker**.

### Interactive decks: media-action links, audio-triggered effects and click boxes
- **Evidence:** the slide show plays click-triggered animations, keeps each slide's state across
  visits and ignores shapes an animation has hidden (`crates/anim/src/interact.rs`). Still open,
  found by running three classroom game decks (Jeopardy-style boards, hide-and-reveal, score
  counters): a click on a shape whose action is "play sound" (`ppaction://media`, 126 and 486
  shapes in two decks) does nothing; triggers that start on `onStopAudio` or `begin` conditions are
  not read as triggers; click boxes are the shape's bounding box (a hexagon's corners count) and do
  not follow a shape that a motion path has moved; the PPTX writer turns every "on click" after the
  first effect of a trigger into "after previous", so a trigger with several click steps saved from
  DeckCraft plays all of them at once.
- **Impact:** games built around sound effects on buttons, or around a button that counts up with
  repeated clicks, lose that part when they are saved from DeckCraft or played in it.
- **Estimate:** 4–8 h.

### Notes and Handout masters
- **Evidence:** View ▸ Handout Master and View ▸ Notes Master edit both masters (placeholders,
  background, a slides-per-page preview for handouts) and PPTX keeps them. Notes pages (view and
  PDF) place the slide and notes where the notes master does and print its header, date, footer
  and page number in their own fonts, sizes and colours; PDF handouts print the handout master's.
  Notes Master view previews the slide in its slide-image placeholder. PDF pages lay master text
  out with the text engine (wrapping, mixed formatting), and the Notes Page view draws the same
  layout. Left: the view draws it in the interface font (sizes, colours and weights kept).
- **Estimate:** done for beta.

### Edit points, text warp, 3-D
- **Evidence:** checklist rows "Edit points" (P1 partial: Edit Points converts a shape to a
  freeform, vertices drag, Ctrl/Cmd-click adds or deletes, smooth/straight/corner points and Bézier
  handles; no Straight/Curved Segment or Open/Close Path), "Text warp transforms" (partial: all 40
  `prstTxWarp` presets render, their adjusts round-trip, Shape Format ▸ Text Effects ▸ Transform
  applies one with `format.textWarp`, and a selected warp shows a yellow handle per adjust that
  dragging sets; arc/circle placement can differ from PowerPoint by 1–3 % of the path length),
  "Bevel and 3-D rotation" (partial: bevels, camera presets and rotations and face lighting render
  as approximations and `scene3d`/`sp3d` round-trip as raw XML; extrusions draw their sides under
  turned cameras, each lit for its own normal; the preset light rigs, rig directions and materials
  shade bevels and sides approximately (fitted to PowerPoint for three-point/matte only); contours
  draw as a band round the face outline (not round the extruded silhouette); Format Shape ▸
  Effects has 3-D Format and 3-D Rotation).
- **Estimate:** 1 h (edit points: segment types, open/close path), 1–2 h (fitting the other rigs
  and materials to PowerPoint renders).

### Proofing: spelling, thesaurus, AutoCorrect
- **Evidence:** `review.spelling` checks with Hunspell-format dictionaries the system already has
  (`crates/engine/src/spell.rs`: affixes, cross products, one level of continuation, compounds,
  case rules, suggestions), each run in its own language (`lang` from PPTX), with a user dictionary
  for Add to Dictionary. Red squiggles on the current slide come from a worker thread, with a
  context menu to correct, ignore or add; table cells and speaker notes are squiggled too, each
  with a right-click menu; repeated words (`the the`) are flagged with Delete Repeated Word;
  Review › Language marks the selection's proofing language or Do Not Check Spelling
  (`lang`/`noProof` round-trip in PPTX). No grammar checking. The web build checks on the UI
  thread a few milliseconds per frame. No dictionaries ship with DeckCraft, so without one
  installed (always on Windows and the web) only a short list of common misspellings is found.
  `review.thesaurus` looks up the selected word (checklist row partial). AutoCorrect has
  PowerPoint's options (two initial capitals, sentence and day capitals, caps lock, fractions, an
  editable replace list); no AutoFormat of ordinals or automatic bulleted lists, no undo of a
  single correction.
- **Estimate:** 1–2 h (bundle openly licensed dictionaries); 2–4 h (AutoFormat as you type).

### Equations
- **Evidence:** checklist row missing; PR #55 (OMML editor, +10.5k lines) is open.
- **Estimate:** 3–6 h to review, land and round-trip.

### Smaller missing rows
Zoom: live thumbnails, the zoom-in animation and the native `p166:sldZm` element (3–5 h;
`insert.zoom` makes linked pictures with Return to Zoom), reuse slides pane with thumbnails
(1–2 h; `slide.reuse` inserts from a file), laser pointer from the presenter window (1–2 h),
artistic effects (3–6 h for the other 15 of 22; 7 approximated and round-tripped), remove
background (6–10 h; needs a model or a classical matte), insert screenshot (2–3 h), record
audio/screen and record slide show (8–12 h), compare presentations beyond slide-level accept
(reject, per-object accept, markers on the slide: 3–5 h), password protection (4–6 h, ECMA-376
agile encryption), ink to text and math beyond Ink to Shape (6–10 h), 3-D models and stock content
(6–10 h; Insert › Icons places a Lucide stroke set).

## UI/UX

Detail in [ui-parity.md](ui-parity.md).

- **No native macOS menu bar.** `menus::menu_tree()` exists but nothing installs it. 3–5 h. **Beta
  blocker.**
- **Format Shape pane thinner than PowerPoint's** (Fill/Line/Effects/Size/Text Box pages, picture
  and texture options, 3-D). 6–10 h. **Beta blocker.**
- **File tab depth** (#76 landed the Backstage): no online templates, cloud places, printer
  choice, video/GIF/CD exports or document protection. 4–8 h for the parts that need no cloud.
- **Window chrome** (#71 macOS controls misaligned, #26 GNOME title bar, #41 system light/dark).
  2–4 h.
- **Icon consistency across Craft apps** (#73, #56). 2–4 h; coordinate in craftrules.
- **Dialogs**: 41 dialogs vs PowerPoint's ~60. In since the d556ff9 count of 27: Font, Paragraph
  and Tabs, Bullets and Numbering, Find and Replace, Replace Fonts, Action Settings, Size and
  Position, Date and Time, Photo Album (Edit Photo Album reopens it), Create New Theme Colors and
  Create New Theme Fonts (each edits the open master's scheme, not a saved library; theme fonts
  are latin only), Grid Options, AutoCorrect and Paste Special. Format Background picture options
  are pane controls on `design.background`, not another dialog. Still missing: Print, Insert
  Object…. 4–8 h.

## Hardware

Detail in [hardware-parity.md](hardware-parity.md).

- **Presenter view isn't placed on the second display**; the show doesn't pick the projector. 3–5 h.
  **Beta blocker.**
- **CPU slide rasterization** (`vello_cpu`); PowerPoint renders on the GPU. 12–20 h (vello hybrid
  or wgpu path).
- **Software-only video decode**; PowerPoint uses VideoToolbox/Media Foundation. 8–14 h (copy
  FilmCraft's hardware decode).
- **No pen tilt and no pinch-zoom** (it does not keep the point under the pointer). Pen pressure
  scales ink width when the pointer reports it (a mouse or a missing reading stays at the pen
  width; a stroke saved as a flat `0.5` still draws at the pen width). A two-finger twist rotates
  the selected shapes, and a trackpad swipe turns the page when the slide fits the window and
  during the show. 2–4 h.

## Localization

Detail in [localization-parity.md](localization-parity.md).

- **English only, no string catalog** (#15, #30; Ukrainian PR #34 open). PowerPoint for Mac ships
  26 languages. Infrastructure 8–14 h, then 3–16 h per language plus native review. Beta needs the
  infrastructure and at least Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, German and Japanese (~30–45 h).
- **Hangul in the interface needs an installed Korean font** (#101). craft-fonts has no Korean face
  (Noto CJK is excluded by the asset policy), so the web build draws Korean file names, notes and
  outline text as boxes; desktop borrows Malgun Gothic, Apple SD Gothic Neo or Noto Sans CJK.
  Adding an openly licensed Korean face (e.g. Nanum Gothic, OFL) to craft-fonts: 1–2 h.
- **UI isn't mirrored for right-to-left languages.** 6–10 h.
- **Browser build draws Arabic and Hebrew as missing-glyph boxes in exports** (#81). 1–2 h.

## Performance

- **Baseline measured, not compared.** `cargo xtask bench` (and `deckcraft-cli bench FILE`) times
  open, per-slide render, save, PPTX round trip and PDF export, and peak memory, against a saved
  baseline; show frame rate isn't measured and there are no PowerPoint numbers to set beside it.
  2–4 h.
- **Morph aligns outlines every frame** (#67, PR open). 1 h.

## Ecosystem

- **Six original starter decks; PowerPoint's large template gallery remains.** File › New and the
  start screen offer Briefing, Lesson, Pitch, Field Notes, Quarterly and Evening Talk
  (`file.new {template}`), each a few slides on one of our themes. Dozens of further offline
  designs, and any online gallery, are still absent. 4–8 h for a larger original set (asset policy:
  our own designs only).
- **No add-ins or VBA.** Out of scope by policy; MCP/CLI automation is the alternative.

## AI features

- **No Designer, Copilot, Speaker Coach, live subtitles or Translate.** All are Microsoft cloud
  services; an offline rule-based Designer is in the catalogue (P2). Local models (speech-to-text
  for subtitles, translation) need an owner decision on licensed models. 20–40 h.
