Every time I publish a page or pages and click the “Done” button I get the lovely spinning wheel and it doesn’t go away. I have to use force quit on the non-responding RW and then start RW again. Pretty annoying feature I think!! I’ve tried all different connections speeds from slowest to lightning fast and it doesn’t make any difference. Here is the first bit of the report: > ``` > Date/Time: 2019-04-16 20:08:41 +1000 > OS Version: Mac OS X 10.13.6 (Build 17G6030) > Architecture: x86_64 > Report Version: 26 > > Data Source: Stackshots > > Command: RapidWeaver 8 > Path: /Applications/RapidWeaver 8.app/Contents/MacOS/RapidWeaver 8 > Identifier: com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8 > Version: 8.1.7 (20674) > Parent: launchd [1] > PID: 686 > > Event: hang > Duration: 2.40s (process was unresponsive for 19 seconds before sampling) > Steps: 24 (100ms sampling interval) > > Hardware model: iMac12,2 > Active cpus: 4 > > Time Awake Since Boot: 4600s > > Fan speed: 1149 rpm > > ``` ---

Don’t know if this is related, but might checkout this post > [@Publishing hanging](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/publishing-hanging/26188/7): > > I found something on the problem. The password in the publishing settings is sometimes simply deleted. When publishing, there is no hint that the password is missing, but the publication simply hangs and you have to restart the program. If you enter the password, everything works. Since the installation of the version 8.1.7 this happens in all other versions as well… MacBook Pro, macOS 10.13.6, RW 8.1.7 Seems to be an issue with publishing password. ---

Thanks Doug but my issue is post upload. Passwords are all set and upload goes through. The issue is after the upload. I didn’t have this problem with the last version of RW so I’m thinking it’s something new in RW8. ---

Hey @Lance, Can you post the rest of the report captured when RW hangs, the first part doesn’t say too much about what the cause is. Cheers Tom ---

Hi @tpbradley , Had to load to google drive as it’s pretty big… [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fAzImYQ2yY6irM2tBrgt1DFHVPbhpXZu/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fAzImYQ2yY6irM2tBrgt1DFHVPbhpXZu/view?usp=sharing) Cheers, Lance ---

Oh well… if anyone has any thoughts it would be appreciated. As of 8 days after my post it’s still doing it. Every time I publish a page and hit the “Done” button I get the spinning colour wheel and have to force quit. Guess it must be a secret RW feature to stop memory overload!! Or maybe my site is getting to complex for RW? Have you heard of this before @dan ---

Hey @Lance, Sorry for not getting back to you about this, we’re still investigating the cause. I have a few more questions for you. 1. How large is this project? 2. Does this happen with any other project you have? 3. Where is the project file stored? 4. Any chance you could send me the project? If so, would you be able to send your project file to [support@realmacsoftware.com](mailto:support@realmacsoftware.com) with a subject of “FAO: Tom #3068” Project files can be quite large so using DropBox or WeTransfer might be necessary. Cheers Tom ---

Also, could you try the following Open up RapidWeaver’s preferences and select the General tab. Make sure the “Show Notifications” checkbox in the Alerts section is ticked. Then publish again. Do you still experience a hang? ---

Hi Tom, Did that change to preferences and the site published ok! I’ll do some more work later today and keep trying… maybe, hopefully that has fixed it?? Thanks for your support. ---
