Attention please!

Must caution everyone concerning what I said earlier about the alpha being okay
anywhere, so back to the subject of running the 3.8 alpha pvengine64.exe from
any 3.7.x install.

Something happened with the file open and file save that I can't explain. Don't
know if it has anything to do with what Clipka was saying about version mixups
but since I had put the 3.8 alpha into all three installs here I guess that's a
possibility.

Those three versions are 3.7.0, 3.7.1 beta and 3.7.1.  I only rendered already
open files to test 3.8 alpha, until now. Did not realize anything might be
wrong.

So would be wise to avoid putting the alpha into multiple installs anyhow, or at
least pvengine64.exe since that's what I was using.

The file open/save (as) caused Windows 10 to force a close of the program. Acts
like it isn't able to determine the correct folder/file location to use.

And unfortunately, for me, uninstalling all versions and reinstalling 3.7.0
again has yet to fix the problem.
