Hi, I would want to press dowload in file explorer to upload a picture into powerpoint but it does not work for different copies of the ppt slide, For eg.  Works for Slide Template 1 but not work for Slide Template 2. Is there a solution?

    Hi @JackyGrealish 
    If the only objective is to open a known file in the downloads folder, I would "populate" the "file name" text box with the path of the download folder + file name + fileextension and press "open". Fx.
    C:\Users\****\Downloads\PictureForPowerpoint.png - and then click Open

    I hope it helps
