MergPop error on iOS 11.2 & LC 8.1.8

[William de Smet]

Hi Paul,

Like I said MergPop works fine in my app except the fact that the app quits after choosing 'Save Image' from the  popover sheet. 
Can you confirm this?

It's a brand new iPad (2 days old) with no other apps installed. 

Greetings,

William

This may be a bug, but I can’t find anything on LCQC for it right now, although I’m sure I remember it being discussed on this list previously (that’s how I knew what the fix was), but I don’t remember the conclusion.
