Hi Conner,

I just looked into the log and was reminded about the ptbl error your 
screenshot showed.  That is indeed a bug that was fixed last year.

The issue was caused by trying to write a file out to a read-only directory, so 
you can work around the crash by specifying a full path to a read-write 
location where you want the file written (e.g., regions C:/output.txt object).

Cheers!
Sean
