That Terminal command does the trick. Many thanks for posting that solution. My pages column and my inspector failed to show after I set Autosave in Rapidweaver preferences. Guess it’s a bug. ---

thanks so much to all, I lost several critical days (yes not full days, I only get to work a few hours a day on the site development so really need to maximize them) - very frustrating, @barque your fix was so easy to apply, million thanks. ---

I have just experienced the exact same problem. RW and everything in it up to date under el Capitan 10.11.4 Out of the blue - never happened before. terminal instruction worked for me - no need to reboot mac but did restart RW. ---

I’m on RapidWeaver 6.3.8, MacOS X 10.11.5 Beta (15F18b), Macbook Pro with multible displays, Gin & Tonic. Seems… since I upgraded to latest OS Beta – not sure that RW 6.3.8 has anything to do with it – the problem pops up whenever I open RapidWeaver (and the Mac have been to sleep or restarted or…). Haven’t experienced it before. I’m on 6.3.8 at work (iMac with multible displays) but older MacOS X – havent’ had the problem on my iMac. Terminal command ( thanx @LaPan ) defaults delete com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver6 “NSSplitView Subview Frames Main Document SplitView” solves the problem… so I’ve added the commad as copy-paste snippet. Cheers. ---

Small update… I updated to Mac OS 10.11.5 Beta (15F24b) yesterday, and it seems to have solved the ‘Sidebar gone missing in RapidWeaver’ problem. Old MacOS problems sometimes pops up in new beta releases… ---

I have that beta too and had a recurrence of the RW Inspector problem yesterday, so I am afraid no, it hasn’t solved it. ---

happened again - thanks for the fix - folks copy the whole line not just the quoted portion of the line - works great - wish the system would not get lost as its a pain to dig up the solution each time. Thanks again ---
