I had been using the 2011 version of Mapwindow GIS 4.8.6 (yes, it’s been a while) but with new computer decided to upgrade to the most recent release of MapWindow5–which seems great but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to export or save shapefiles (or even georeferenced .BMP files) that I’ve created within the program. Has that option disappeared?
