Re: MergPop error on iOS 11.2 & LC 8.1.8

If only one selection causes the crash, the problem is more likely to be the handler it calls than the external itself. I'd look at the actions that occur during the "save image" handler. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software |
