Is there a way to save work done so far, then continue working later? The "save" option under "file" is greyed out. If I import an existing project and hit "digitize" all the existing points are wiped out. "Add" doesn't seem to do anything.

There is, but it isn't obvious. After calibrating the axes and starting to digitize some points, you can choose "Calibration & Data to XML" under the "Export" item under the "File" menu. Give the file a name and save it somewhere where you can find it again. Then later, you can open up PlotDigitizer (so that you have a blank window) and then choose File-Import-Calibration & Data from XML. Choose the XML file you saved earlier and it should put you right back where you were. It will be in digitize mode and you can just start adding more points.

Hey there, thanks for creating this free Mac-friendly data extraction software. I have a question about saving the entire Plot Digitizer workspace of an image. Is there a way to save this?

You can only save the calibration data with a link to the original image file. After calibrating the axes and starting to digitize some points, you can choose "Calibration & Data to XML" under the "Export" item under the "File" menu. Give the file a name and save it somewhere where you can find it again. Then later, you can open up PlotDigitizer (so that you have a blank window) and then choose File-Import-Calibration & Data from XML. Choose the XML file you saved earlier and it should be ready to digitize more data. It's not perfect, but it works.
