Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/2963

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I cannot upload PowerPoint .pptx files to MyDocuments through the "Click to upload or drag and drop" facility.

I am able to upload .docx, .xlsx, .pdf, .csv and .txt files from the same local Windows folder to AnythingLLM MyDocuments without any problem via both the user interface and the API.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

After browsing and selecting the .pptx file to upload, I receive the error "A processing error occurred." and the "Uploading file..." symbols persist in both the left and right panes.

This issue is also present when I try to upload .pptx files through the API and I receive the same error response from the server.

I'm using v1.7.2 and I can provide further system details, files or screenshots if that would be helpful.

You've created an incredible piece of software... Many thanks!

Pulling the collector logs here would be helpful - the error will or should be more verbose there:
https://docs.anythingllm.com/installation-desktop/debug

Will close for now until we can repro or identify a root cause :+1

Sorry, I'm not so familiar with this territory but this is what I get from PowerShell when I try to upload PowerPoint file "test.pptx" into My Documents.
I hope this is what you're after but please let me know if it's something else that you need.
