Very curious: Elements keeps unexpectedly crashing when I try to preview in the browser, but only with one specific project. I tried with another project, and it works just fine. However, when I go back to working on this particular project and attempt to preview, Elements crashes again.

This is what the browser says:  
**Notice** : fwrite(): Write of 181 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe in **/Applications/RapidWeaver Elements.app/Contents/Resources/RWWebServerLaunch.php** on line **132**

**Notice** : file\_get\_contents(): Read of 8448 bytes failed with errno=21 Is a directory in **/Applications/RapidWeaver Elements.app/Contents/Resources/RWWebServerLaunch.php** on line **187**

Made a new document, copied and pasted the code and now it works again.

Can you share the broken project (if you still have it)?

You might also want to check if that broken project has a home page set - that might be the cause of the issue (we have that on the list to fix).

Hi @dan : [this](elementsapp://downloadDocument/SnnNUsBC4Jkw) is the corrupt file. Tried it before uploading to the cloud.

Ah-ha! it was the same issue. If you right click and set the page as a home page preview will then work.
