Does the folder that replaced the rapidweaver project file look something like this?

 ![2018-11-02_10-40-17](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/0/0b12e83de1426c1e17eab03c68aa8b23b7754bd5.jpeg)

Does the folder name end with `.RW` for RW7 or `.RW8` for RW8?

Since you said you are able to open the “folder” that was the RW7 project with RW8, I would think it still needed to be named `????.RW`. By chance do or did you have Perian an Open source QuickTime component installed?  
If so might check out this post:

> Hi, this is my first post. I like many others have been baffled as to why my RW Project files have been appearing as folders albeit with the RW icon. I followed suggestions of using OnyX to rebuild the LaunchServices without success although this had worked in the past. The Answer: was to go to the user Library\>PreferencePanes where I found ‘Perian.prefPane’ Press the button Uninstall and restart… Job done. I hope this may help others experiencing this problem.
