Aven exports sketch file instead of pos file

[Mike Lake]

Hi Wookey & List

Glad it's known about. I had looked at the release notes for a few 
releases but had not found that one. I just didn't look that far back. I 
can see it there now.

I don't have a Windows box to check now but on the weekend I'm pretty 
sure I tried a Skencil export and got a Skencil file, not a POS. It was 
definitely a Windows 1.2.42 version on the weekend that had this error 
so if it was fixed in 1.2.32 then its reverted.

At least it's known about. Thanks.

Mike
