Using 8.3 and whenever I try to add a resource by dragging to the appropriate folder, the app crashes. If I try to pick the file by using add files, it looks like its going to work (+1 in green) but it is not there. Either way, I’m stuck as a bump on a log.

Looks like you are running the Beta version of RapidWeaver (Version 8.3 (20780b)).

I just did a quick test (also on the Beta) dragging a folder into resources with another folder open and didn’t have a crash.

So it doesn’t get overlooked, you would be best to report on this Thread:

> Hey Weavers, Here’s the latest build of RapidWeaver 8.3, it’s shaping up rather nicely and should soon ship as an official release. Please remember this is BETA software and as such may contain bugs! If you rely on RapidWeaver for mission-critical work do not use the beta builds, stick to the official releases. What New in 8.3?

They will probably need more info and a copy of the project file.

I think it has something to do with my resource file. Don’t know anything about that, but this morning I had a crash when there were folders that were blank. Cleaned that all up and it worked until I started to try and add files to it. Weird parts is if I drop, it crashes. If I use the add files, looks like it worked but doesn’t.

The lastest 8.3 beta 2, when having folders in resources, all projects I open removes the name from resources folders.

For me the solution is to open the Project in 8.2, make a screenshot of the folder names, then update to 8.3 and put the same name again on the folders, then save, close the Project and then it Works ok.

Also when opening a RW7 in the automatic conversion for a new RW8 Project, the new Project also has no resources folder names, they simply are blank.

Maybe the next beta corrects this bug.

I had that too. Renamed folders but when I try to add, it crashes. They need to fix that part. How do I go back to 8.2?

Thanks. I also got all of my names back on the resources file and can add again. It’s a bug in 8.3 for sure.
