That could be it. I see the option to message you… ![43%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/3/3f4506ed5f8874160d683ff1838ecd3bc1e92787.png) ---

And now it won’t even open the file… unbelievable. ![05%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/3/377725fe4331805663890baf399b970d05a87a6d.png) ---

Can you make a copy of the file in the Finder? Do all copy/original/backup have the same file-size (in the Get Info window): Can you post the last section of the Get Info window. It should look something like this: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/1/1eead2b77fcec9370e1277a647b14e90b3257737.jpeg) ---

Ok, so I did a literal “copy & paste” of the file to a higher directory and it appeared to copy fine. 55.4mb each. BUT, it came from an older file that is 86.4mb… meaning the file lost 30mb somewhere along the way. I have also been struggling with losing images after I drag and drop them in a lightbox. I’ll save and reopen later and all the files (jpgs) i’ve dropped in are missing again. This started happening 4 or 5 months ago. Any chance the overall file size is an issue? ![46%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/5/54602739d693461ca94175586bc4f267cf13e72b.png) ---

Uh oh… this just happened. I just upgraded… forgot to move it. I’ll fix this and see if that’s the issue (although this was happening with RW7 before I upgraded) ![14%20PM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/2X/1/17c18c4a38b54cd13d2d0f7336c55e570b529fe4.png) ---

Ok, it appears to be working at the moment…now that I’m running off the program from the apps folder. It saved ok the first try. I’m going to keep working… ---
