When starting up Rapid Weaver a requester opens, giving the possibility to open a recent project. Since buying a new Imac, there are no recent projects. How should I acces my website? ---

Open it from your hard drive, where it was saved. It’s like any other file. ---

Thank you for responding. It was not saved to my website, or I can’t find it. ---

It was not saved to your hard drive? Well, it must have been previously. It can’t exist in the recent projects without it. Recent projects is just a convenience… Your files are not really there. ---

Recent projects list come from OSX. Use Spotlight and do a search on your new iMac for the project name. ---

I have all the files of course but how do I load them in Rapid Weaver? ---

You don’t load anything. You open the RW file. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/0/02c089122103f2b14cbd29a17e6fad0546486823.png) ---

Same way you’d open a Word doc or photoshop file… same as any other program. ---

How do you open any other file on your hard drive? You either double click it and it opens in the program, or you open the program and choose File \> Open. ---

When I go to my applications folder and find RW I see all the files and pages there but not an RWfile. ---

Then you’re missing the RW file and you can’t open it. What is the name of the file? Do a search: name.rw ---
