Help Finding my Data After Hard Drive Crash

After getting my date copied to a new drive I am back in business. When I open RW it unfortunately does not recognize the new drive. I tried to redirect it but all of the versions seem to be outdated from older versions. I need help tracking it down. Until then, I can’t do much of anything. Thanks

Not sure I understand what data you are referring to. Are you asking about your addons (stacks, themes, plugins, etc.), or are you talking about resources in the project files (images, videos, etc.)?

I’m pretty sure it is the project files. When I open RW it would be shown on the first page. (See attached). The two shown below are old and I can seem to locate my working website project file.

can spotlight find the site or search your Mac with the finder

I don’t remember the exact file name but there are probably way to get close enough to find it. What would be you suggestion?

do a search on .rwc it should find all the Rapidweaver files you have saved on your Mac

I’m using version 9.2.1. Wouldn’t there be a “9” in the file name to distinguish it from these older versions?

Nope there isn’t a “9” in the extension. It’s just .rwc

Try doing a spotlight search for that extension to see if it pulls up anything.

Also from your screenshot, it’s not clear if that is your internal drive or an external drive. Is “Lemans II” the name of your internal drive?

Rapid weaver 8 extension is .rw8 and Classic is .rwc

I think I have it figured out now. Thanks for your help!
