I can’t save my project using Rapidweaver 8.2.1 for Mac. Any idea? The following window text appear: ![49](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/8/7/8792706f00aaf54bb8fbc5deadf959af725c0675.jpeg) ---

Might be a topic for @tpbradley? ---

Try a Save As into a different folder? ---

This is a Catalina specific error, I believe. I have not seen it myself, but I’ve heard about it from other developers. From my own limited knowledge: - it only happens on Catalina. - it was happening on project files that had been on Dropbox previously, thought it was unclear if that had anything to do with the problem. - it was happening to files within pages (like stacks pages and photo albums) and also resource files outside of all plugins. at that point i referred the person to submit the issue to realmac – not necessarily with the belief that it was their issue – it could easily be a dropbox thing or an Apple bug or just a user permissions problem – but i figured RMS would want to know about it in any event. my suggestion for a workaround would be to (in this order): - if the file is within Dropbox (or similar syncing service, even iCloud) – move it out of there. - try duplicating the file. - try changing the permissions on the file (in the Get Info window at the very bottom – make sure all the different people and groups have read access) - try rebooting. lastly… downgrade to a stable OS version. Catalina currently has several insurmountable issues that i’m aware of – enough to keep me from using it, even though it would make life easier for me if i could. ---

Thanks for the input guys! @felipe Can you confirm if you’re using macOS 10.15 Catalina? Cheers ---

Hey @ricohofmann, I could really do with knowing if you’re using the macOS 10.15 Catalina beta? Cheers ---

Apple have recently released macOS Catalina beta 8 which appears to solve this problem. @ricohofmann @felipe Could you guys give it a try and let me know if you see any more of these errors. Cheers ---
