However, this time I happened to run it in a directory with files to edit and noticed the file browser/project open on the left. I can click on files from that list and edit and save them. Either using "ctrl+s", my usual, or "File"->"Save". "File"->"Open Recent"->then pick a file listed, also works to open a file. I also tried "Open Folder" and "Open File" from the "Welcome" screen and that also crashed. I just tried "File"->"Save As" and it crashed also. This then suggests that it maybe it isn't simply about accessing the file system at all but something a bit more subtle.
