Is your full media export available somewhere?  Or could you put it
somewhere on the Web or at an FTP site so that I could download it?
That would enable me to work on this bug.  It would also give me a
good set of test cases.

If you can't do that (perhaps it's proprietary ?), and if you think
you know which document caused it to choke, perhaps you could semd
me just that document.

Thanks.

I'll look into this.  The exported XML gives me a height and width,
for example:

    height="172"
    width="230"

I'm guessing that "172" means 1.72 inches,  I need centimeters. 
I've got to check my calculation.

Thank you for pointing this out.  Now, I believe I've fixed it in
lists, also.  I'll post a new version when I've had time to do some
more testing.

Thanks for the other comments, too.  I'm working on them.
