I did what you suggest and the p references were in fact saved.  It is a
bit confusing because the icon is the same as that in the tool itslef
for saving the preferences, but that didn't work.  But I also checked
the vox for saving the preferences on exit, which was  unchecked, and
that might have made a difference.

My crashing on exports seems to be exactly what the bug report
describes.  I have to study the bug report to see if it suggests a
solution I can use.

I will do something about the bug one way or the  other.  I've reported
it in this users group already.  It happens on every file I export.
I've tried both exporting as tiff and as png.
