python {baseDir}/scripts/wps_ppt_automation.py extract-images --input "C:\path\file.pptx" --outdir "C:\out\images"Notes
- If WPS is installed, try
--app wps; otherwise default uses PowerPoint. - Use
--visible trueif you need to watch the UI. - Avoid batch usage; this skill is for single-presentation operations.
