Issue with IPPImage.ReplaceImage Method when Using Aspose.Slides in C#

Hi,
I’m having a problem with IPPImage.ReplaceImage method. When testing with an input .ppt file containing an external image that is grouped, Aspose.Slides.Presentation.Images.Count = 2.
After using IPPImage.ReplaceImage method and save to the outputFile, I checked the outputFile and the Aspose.Slides.Presentation.Images.Count = 3.

Sample code:

string inputFile = "D:\\external_image_grouped.ppt";
string outputFile = "D:\\external_image_grouped_out.ppt";
string sampleImage = "D:\\sample_image.jpg";
using (var inputStream = new FileStream(inputFile, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
    int retVal = 0;
    Presentation inputPresentation = new Presentation(inputStream);

    var count = inputPresentation.Images.Count;  // count = 2
    foreach (var tmp in inputPresentation.Images)
    {
        var image = File.ReadAllBytes(sampleImage);
        tmp.ReplaceImage(image);
    }

    inputPresentation.Save(outputFile, SaveFormat.Ppt);
}

using (var outputStream = new FileStream(outputFile, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
{
    int retVal = 0;
    Presentation outputPresentation = new Presentation(outputStream);
    var count = outputPresentation.Images.Count; // count = 3
}

Here is the sample file that I created to test external_image_grouped.zip (27.8 KB)

Please help me check and investigate the problem.

Thank you.

Hi @andrey.potapov,
Thank you for your response.

Here is my information:

  • Windows 10, 11
  • .NET 5.0
  • Aspose.Slides version 21.2.0

I tried to upgrade to Aspose.Slides for .NET ver 23.1.0 and this problem is still not fixed.

So, could you please reproduce again with a new sample external_image_grouped.zip (27.8 KB)
