Hello! When I start RapidWeaver, a dialog box does not appear, and when I start a new project, the program crashes. Can you please tell me why this is happening? I tried different versions of RapidWeaver 8. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps a question for @tpbradley? ---

Hey @Fame, from the log you provided it looks like the app may be damaged. Could you try downloading a new copy using this link and give it another go? [https://github.com/realmacsoftware/RapidWeaver8-releases/releases/download/8.6.2-(20836)/RapidWeaver8.zip](https://github.com/realmacsoftware/RapidWeaver8-releases/releases/download/8.6.2-(20836)/RapidWeaver8.zip) Cheers ---

@tpbradley, thank you! It was an issue with the archiver. Before I expanded archives of RapidWeaver using the plug-in built into the file manager (Double Commander). There haven’t been any troubles with it before. After your message about the archive damage I expanded using a different program. Now everything is working! Thanks once again! ---
