RM8.7 wont open project file

Try this:

Hold down the Option key when you start RapidWeaver. A little window will pop up and give you some options for enabling 3rd party plugins, 3rd party themes, and resetting the project window location location.

Using that window disable 3rd party plugins and themes and reset the project window.

This is the fail-safe mode. If this still doesn’t work, it’s time to talk with Realmac Software support. But if it does work, it means that one of those plugins or themes is causing some trouble – and 9 times out of 10 it’s a plugin, probably something that needs to be updated.

If that seems to be the case, then you should open your RW Addons folder (Cmd-7) and remove all of the plugins in the folder. Add them back one at a time, and launch RW after each addition – but only add the ones that you’re really using right now. It’s best to leave plugins uninstalled unless you need them.

When you find the culprit, just go grab a new version from the developer. All the YourHead plugins are at: http://yourhead.com/

Just download a new version and drag it into your RW Addons folder. If you have all the latest versions and you still have a crash on launch – then:

  1. Let us know which plug-in is causing the issue
  2. Post the first page or two of the crash report here if you can
  3. Contact the developer of the plug-in for support
