Exporting Gedcom in FH7

In earlier versions of FH I used to create a named list containing the records i wanted to populate a new gedcom and then go through the process of exporting a gedcom. After the new gedcom had been saved FH popped up a dialog box offering to open the gedcom in a new instance of FH, but this no longer happens in FH7.
Am I missing something in Preferences or elsewhere?

No, you are not missing anything. FH V7 no longer produces that prompt.
You have two alternative workarounds:
- Note the folder path where the GEDCOM file is exported.
Use the File > Gedcom File Tasks > Open Gedcom File... command or use keyboard Ctrl+O to open that GEDCOM.
- Instead of the File > Export > GEDCOM File... command, use File > Project Window > More Tasks > Copy Project...
Open that copy and use File > Split Tree Helper... command to Delete all Individual records NOT found by the
Individual Query: Named List Members
Under Other Records select the four Delete ... records left with no links to them and finally Perform Tasks
