Object inspector question

[William Prothero]

Roger:
Not a big deal, but, FYI:
 I was messing with the “Export” command and it keeps asking for the selectedObject, which should be a field named “myText”. When that field is selected, the selectedObject is still empty. This is in debug mode in the IDE, and it behaves the same way as a plugin as a palette . Also, deleting fonts from the “favorites” field doesn’t work in LC 8.1.0.

The plugin is still useful, as it is, but I thought you might like the feedback.
Best,
Bill
