Weirdness trying to make UV templates now (fixed)

I've probably just forgotten how to do something basic, but I tried making some blank UV templates for G8F today with the old free UV Mapper and they're not coming out like they used to. The islands are either all lined up in a row, like when you view them by number in other software, or only the Face map gets created. Did something change? I don't think I changed my export settings (and I tried the default DAZ Studio one just to be sure), but I tried five different ways and always got these unusual results.

In case I can't fix this, are there any blank, non-subdivided PNG (no JPG compression) blank UV templates available for the G8 figures? I only have my copies of the colored seam guides (for G3 and below), and I need a clean set. Thanks in advance.

    If you want them in the unit square then you want the Collapse UVs option in the exporter.

    Yeah that fixed it. I don't know why I forgot that, maybe because I got so used to turning it off when I was trying to get stuff over to Zbrush or Substance Painter. Thanks very much.

    Can the pro demo still be upgraded to a usable copy... or is it lostinthepastware?
    Asking for a proud of owner of reality and a couple other long gone programs.
