Sorry, should have said that to make it freeze you do the following.
With the main Plugin window open normally, click the Minimise - button near top right.
Then hover on the minimised icon in Task Bar and click its X to close Plugin.
When the Plugin is run next time it freezes with the blank minimised icon.
You can escape from that by hovering and clicking the X as above.
But can never get the Plugin to run without deleting its .dat file.

The new version does not suffer the problem and will even cope with a problem .dat file.

You can run any older version of the Plugin to induce the problem, and then run the latest version successfully.

For my usage, Export Gedcom 3.2.4 is ready to become 3.3! Great job. All worked as it should, both LFT and TNG, including passing along the PLAC geocoding.

And the freeze; amazing you found that bug. And yes, the 3.2.4 version fixed the errant .dat file as well.

Will Post in the Export Gedcom File new features (15049) as well.
