RapidWeaver not saving my files

I've been working on developing a Formloom project for my web site, so have had my original site document open on my desktop as I do the development on a test site document. I'm using RW 5.0.2 (7766). I took a break from that to add a new issue of our newsletter and to update some text on a page on my original site before going back to Formloom on the test site. Then, at the end of the day as I shut things down to give my computer a planned restart, the Save that I did on the web site document appeared to proceed normally, but I noticed that the red Quit button still had a black dot (unsaved). I tried a couple more times, no luck. Tried Save As to another location, didn't work. Finally, I did a Command-D duplication and opened the copy. None of the new work done was there. I added the text and newsletter issue to the copy and it saved correctly. I tried 1) repairing volume permissions, checked out the status of Quick Look (off), no Application Enhancer, obviously can't safe boot and have checked my plug-ins for freshness. One has an unsaved update (WP-Blog).

Is my original file toast?

    Ive had a similar problem , i always checked that when i save the file heading goes blue when saving, I spent 3 hours upgrading a site for someone and saved all through the process, quit the file , went back and found nothing had saved !! How chuffed was I ?
    This happens regularly now and i can spot it if the saving bar doesnt show at the top of the rw file im working on, its just done it again today ,,,,after three gallies have just been finished.

    So over to the RW Team ? Please help. If no one answers this Im going straight to the RW support as it makes working life very stressfull..!

    I had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and I too lost all my evenings changes! - In my case it was collage2 causing a problem which also showed up as a missing image on the collage page. removing this sorted the problem and everything started to save ok again. While it may not be collage2 in your case I would suggest checking any stacks or plugins - the odd thing was that it worked fine for a couple of weeks and then went wrong!!

    I have been having problems with frequent crashing in the middle of my work since I upgraded to Rapid Weaver 5 and Stacks 2 most current versions. The other day I got an email from one of my site visitors saying images were missing! I have never had this problem before. Looked at my site in RapidWeaver and everything looks great in both Edit & Preview.

    I don't have collage 2, and I reported the crashing issue in another post here, under Repetitive Crashing, submitted crash reports etc, but have heard nothing back in about a month. I was busy with other things, so did not have time to chase this, and I guess the admins were busy with this new forum?

    As an aside, I did NOT move my images and the problems are limited to some newly added pages. I am not a power user having only 2 sites, but one of my sites is likely to get very large and heavy with images, so this stands to be a real problem for me if it does not get resolved.
