I understand that this is a non-final version and will probably contain bugs, but I would still like to download RapidWeaver 8.1 Final Candidate 5 (Build 20536b) – Link Removed, See below
Has the issue with finding the files on initial opening been fixed yet, or am I just not doing it correctly. I am using 20502b. I get “This file uses multiple locations…” and when I try and choose location I get into an unending loop, despite my going to “Home” and the file location.
Well, I can only guess I am doing something incorrectly as the same issue exists. I followed the required path as posted on another thread, going through the “Home” folder and then all the way to my desktop where I have the project in a folder. I can get all the way to the folder and then back to the same prompt to connect to the files. At least now it isn’t an unending loop and I can get out of it. Might it be that I need to go somewhere else rather than the folder I have created for each project I work on?
Yes, 2053b and I have my files located on my desktop, no iCloud Drive. I have 3 projects and all are located in separate folders on the desktop. All three have the same issue where I can’t connect. RW8.1 v2053b is located in my Application Folder
Hi,
working with the latest RW beta (20536b) since yesterday - now a document is not able to load the local fonts I put in resources. Relink is possible but does not fix the problem.
Get this error message (see screenshot).
I know that RW 8.1 had issues with being allowed to have access to![23|690x367]
files but it is not asking anymore about that…
and now it just does not export the resources (I export/republish all files locally and normally use ftp to upload or test)
Thanks Markus -
deleted the RW preferences and made a disc repair with Mac onboard repair utilities -
no change - only when opening RW8 it said copying the addons from RW 7 to 8.
Whatever - let the beta updates keep coming.
Thanks,
happy weaving,
Tom
Was hoping this beta version might have fixed the sandbox problem where you keep getting a popup stating that this document uses files in multiple locations. The software is in my application directory, the stacks and such are in iCloud and the the files, projects, exports are on a portable ssd. I go through the motions of choosing each of the roots of all three of those locations and still it asks me to choose.
I have some projects where it asked twice, once for the ssd and the other for the main hard drive home directory and all was well. One small project with only 5 pages would not open without this request so I made another project and copied the five pages over, re-entered all the particulars so it would export properly and haven’t had the request since.
I have another site which is very large, has four projects with 30 - 50 pages each. All the projects are locked into this please allow Rapidweaver to access your files.
I’ve found it very hard to see what the selling point of version 8 has been other than frustration!
