I seem to have multiple copies or versions of some stacks, some in

(1) ~/Library/Containers/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver/Data/Library/Application Support/RapidWeaver/Stacks

and others in

(2) ~/Library/Application\ Support/RapidWeaver/Stacks

All those in (2) are also in (1), either with the same date in (1) or a later date in (1).

Why the duplication?

You upgraded from RW6.

Is your RW7 copy.

Is your RW6 copy.  
They were moved in part to support user defined libraries:

So there’s no reason to keep ~/Library/Application\ Support/RapidWeaver/Stacks, given that each stack there also is in the other location (in the same or later version), right?

If you need to go back to RW6 for old project etc then they will need to be in that location. But RW7 will use the new location.
