Using of keywords into PowerPoint slide

[khitt...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I'm using the TortoiseSVN V1.7 under windows 7
I'm trying to set the "Date" keyword into a PowerPoint slide (*.pptm under Office 2010)
I can set the "Date" keyword into a txt file and i wan to do it into a Powerpoint.
I tried to config file as:
### Automatic properties are defined in the section 'auto-props'.
enable-auto-props = yes

### Section for configuring automatic properties.
[auto-props]
*.pptm = svn:keywords=URL Rev Author Date

But no success.

If someone can tell me how i can perform it.

Keyword expansion only works when SVN can see the text. PowerPoint is a binary file. If you can’t open it in a text viewer and find the keyword (or if a SVN property is set to tell SVN it is binary) then SVN can’t see it either.

Apparently this used to be possible before Microsoft added the X to the extension and changed the file type. Interestingly enough, if you use 7 zip you can see inside ms office .*x files and other files so they are compressed.
