Mac support

[nickboucart]

I watched your video and was really energised by it. Is it possible to use this code on Mac? I have no experience with .Net

Thanks!

I am not sure how it could, I'm afraid. This uses COM Automation which is a Windows thing. Is there a Mac Office equivalent way to talk to/automate the Office apps like PowerPoint?

In your excellent video describing the creative process behind you PowerPointToObsSwitcher you mentioned that you might also supply a exe file for those of us less equipped to begin playing with it. Is that something that you are still intending to do? Thank you again for sharing. I would REALLY love to see this project move towards a PowerPoint Add-In. As such it would be amazing to read the OBS Scene Collection and present it as a menu in ppt and where a scene can be selected and stored on a slide-by-slide basis.

@nickboucart, I also wanted a macOS implementation, so I took a shot. You can find the repository here. Uses Applescript and python, tested against PowerPoint 16.44. Comments welcome there, willing to fix anything you might find wrong.

Thanks, @shanselman, for the inspiration. My spouse likes puzzles, but I prefer a challenge like this. It's a puzzle of sorts.
