Hi Alexander -
Who'd a thunk it? Your suggestion of skipping the workbook and going \
straight to a spreadsheet works! I can print and export plots, and the \
saved project will reload with all my plots present. When the plots are \
inside a workbook, the print and export options do nothing.
Yeah, it would be nice to have the current version, but I don't see an easy \
way to do it until some Fedora maintainer gets around to building a new \
package.
Many thanks for your help.

we had a problem with restoring the connections to columns in spreadsheets \
that are part of a workbook. This bug is already fixed but I think it's \
still present in the version you're using. To workaround this problem now \
without upgrading to the most recent version (should be the preferred way, \
though) is to create a "stand-alone" spreadsheet. So, just create \
a new spreadsheet without the workbook and import your data.</p> <p \

As to the export, this should work actually. If you select the plot and \
click on the export button in the toolbar, are you able to export to PDF \
and PNG or JPEG?</p> <p \

I have a project with a workbook that links to a CSV file of values. I \
figured out how to create a basic plot. Now I have two problems:</p> <p \
style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> \

</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> \
1) When I save the project, the plots are NOT saved. Every time I open the \
project, I have to create the plots again. Who can I save plots?</p> <p \
style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> \

</p> <p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0;margin-right:0;">> \
2) Once the plots are created, I want to print them to PDF and export them \
to JPG. File-Print and File-Export do nothing. It is like clicking on \
/dev/null. There is no error, no windows pop up, nothing is printed ... \
How can I get these features to work? It is almost like LabPlot thinks \
there is nothing to print.</p> <p \

Snaps are not an option. The version of LabPlot in the snap library is \
2.6.0 which does not have some of the features I need. Flatpaks are not an \
option because the flatpak package requires Wayland, and I cannot run that. \
The nVidia display driver does not work with Wayland. And as a matter of \
sensibility, the flatpak wants to install something like 2 gigabytes of \
stuff. WTF?????</p> <p \
