Export Dialogue Opening Atom editor for tempimage.ext

[El Capitan]

Publisher Beta, v1.7.0.293 for Mac: 15" MBP (2017), Mojave v10.14.4, 2.9GHz i7, 16Gb ram
Since the latest Publisher update, whenever attempting to export pages from Publisher Beta, Atom (code editor) opens "tempimage_#.ext" files. I have not opened or modified Atom since prior to the last Publisher update. I have since disabled all Atom packages and restarted my entire system with no change in behavior.
This happens for Publisher projects with one, several, and many pages... I am using master templates on all pages and have not confirmed if this occurs when not using templates.
Additionally when in the export dialogue and I select a different file type to export to, Atom opens more windows.
The export has been working despite this behavior.

Have exactly the same thing happening here. Any export option/change opens Atom and start creating and opening "tempimage_#.ext" files. 

It actually worked ok after the last update. Then I had Publisher hanging at some point and couldn't restart the app. Restarted my machine, opened Publisher and that's when this behaviour started.

It is also eating up space on my hard drive.

Try deleting your preferences from /userfolder/Library/Preferences/

That seems to sort it.

Unfortunately  settings will get lost.

"Brackets", another code editor (Adobe), uses .ext suffixes, too (e.g. ".ext1").
