<p style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \
0;">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.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \
0;">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.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \
0;">Many thanks for your help.</p>
<p> </p>

<p style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \

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 style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \

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: \

time I open the project, I have to create the plots again. Who can I \

<p style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \

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 style="margin-top: 0;margin-bottom: 0;margin-left: 0;margin-right: \
0;">> 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>
