Command-line batch export is broken
Not sure if it happened with the latest upgrade, or the one just before, but command line PNG export is apparently broken. I've been using a batch file for months as part of a UI spec workflow, so the system context has remained stable. When the export command fires, Mockups loads and reads the first file in the sequence, but then hangs as a background process -- I have to use the task manager to kill it.
The "Export All Snapshots" menu option is working fine, and has provided a temporary workaround. But I've got some projects that have forty or more screens edited between versions, and batch processing is a much better way to go.
Can command-line export be repaired?

Ahhh ... life is good again. Really appreciate the quick fix. Just out of curiosity, what the heck happened? -
Ooh, good. I'll merge the fix in tonight or tomorrow. What happened is that we had to rework the startup sequence due to a lame bug that only happened in Vista...it was a risky change and we didn't test the command-line workflows properly. One more reason to start adding more unit tests...my apologies and as always thanks for your patience and support Michael, I appreciate it!
