SourceFullName is missing when checking inserted image

Aspose.Words Product Family

Hi Aspose team,

I am trying to read SourceFullName of Excel chart inserted into Word document.
When I go to XML structure (word\charts\_rels) I can find for each inserted chart something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

When I read document with very simple code like:

public void ReadOLE()
{
Console.WriteLine("1. (Word)" + DateTime.Now.ToString());
Aspose.Words.Document doc = new Aspose.Words.Document("1.docx");
Console.WriteLine("2. (Word)" + DateTime.Now.ToString());

//get collection of shapes
NodeCollection shapes = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Shape, true);
//Loop through all shapes
foreach (Aspose.Words.Drawing.Shape shape in shapes)
{
if (shape.OleFormat != null)
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("3. (Word) SourceFullName: " + shape.OleFormat.SourceFullName.ToString());
}
catch (Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("3. (Word OLE) SourceFullName: NULL");
}

}
else
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("4. (Word) SourceFullName: " + shape.ImageData.SourceFullName.ToString());
}
catch (Exception)
{
Console.WriteLine("4. (Word ImageData) SourceFullName: NULL");
}

}
}
Console.WriteLine("5." + DateTime.Now.ToString());
}

I am jumping to second part with ImageData and then SourceFullName is null.
Btw. why is this not recognized as a OLE object and why there is no reference to XML above where source is found?

Please find attached sample project and test document.

Hi Oliver,

You are facing the shared issue because Aspose.Words does not support writing external data in chart.xml (c:externalData -> with r:id to ../embeddings/Microsoft_Excel_Worksheet1.xlsx). This feature is related to your issue.
