I’m able to export after opening RapidWeaver. Once it’s opened and I publish I’ll get this error code the next time I try to publish. If I close the app and reopen I’ll be able to publish again.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Billy

Try restarting your mac, looks like it may be related to old temp files. Restarting your Mac should resolve the issue

Thanks Turtle. I did a restart and had the same problem. Here’s the newer version of the error alert.

I would suggest copying the support logs (Help -\> copy support logs), paste into a text document, save it, send all relevant info to [support@realmacsoftware.com](mailto:support@realmacsoftware.com)

Relevant info being:

exact version of RW  
exact version of OSX  
exact version Stacks by Yourhead (if you have it)

I would also zip the project fie with the aforementioned txt file and upload to a sharing service, copy the link to that file and include it in your email to RapidWeaver Support… their mail only allows so big a msg 😉
