  • Feature: For debugging, added an app.log text
    file to the running folder. Most of app exceptions will be written to this file
    so sometimes checking the content of this file makes sense.
  • Bugfix PPT2003-only: if shape
    has shadow, cannot drag it. cannot drag pictures. Cannot drag some
    shapes like "smile face" shape in PPT2003.
  • Bugfix PPT2003-only: when
    some shapes have *choice, not rendered as choice. E.g. "smile
