I’m having so many issues with preview generation, missing resources etc that i think it is time to do a clean install of RW8 and manual install of plugins, stacks, themes and hopefully get back to the speedy Rapidweaver we know and love! Not done this before so having a good look around the library.

First thing I notice is that I have 3 Rapidweaver Group Containers in the Library:

P97H7FTHWN.com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver  
P97H7FTHWN.com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver7  
P97H7FTHWN.com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8

Currently, my addons folder sits in the first container (\>Library\>Application Support\>Addons). The Application Support and Caches folders in my RW7 and RW8 containers are both empty.

Should Addons not be in the RW8 folder? and does it make any difference? Can I move my addons to RW8 and bin the other containers?

Thanks
