I sure there is another thread about this somewhere but I think it needs to be brought up again. With the GM of High Sierra out and a roll out date of 25th September announced when will Rapidweaver be compatible with the new MacOS? I was looking to buy a new Mac to replace my 2009 MacPro but as Rapidweaver is one of my most used programs I can’t until I am sure it will work properly. ---

I think (I didn’t beta test) there’s still an issue with the latest beta and RW. > [@RW7 keeps reloading on High Sierra](http://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/rw7-keeps-reloading-on-high-sierra/15098): > > Hi there, I use RW7 on High Sierra Dev beta 2 (not on my daily driving Mac).

The preview problem is still there for me as well. I’m running the High Sierra GM and RW 7.5 I’m hoping Realmac releases a new 7.5 beta soon, with a workaround or a fix. The commercial release of High Sierra is in only 6 days. ---
