Bug Fixes

• When a custom report is created and stored in the reports directory, it does not show up in the available canned reports dropdown menu.
• If opened last on an external monitor the window location is saved to re-open on that monitor. If the external monitor is disconnected and the program is re-opened without the external montor, the main screen is not visible because it loads in the location of the external monitor that is no longer present.
• When a link with a file name that contains spaces is clicked the file does not open.
