Suddenly RapidWeaver 7 started freezing at launch and I can do nothing else but force quit. I disabled all third-party add-ons, but the problem remains. ---

Did you restart your Mac? ---

Try re-downloading the app and trying a new install of the app. ---

I uninstalled ALL third party add-ons. I uninstalled RapiWeaver 7 and re-installed it. It still freezes. at launch. When I press the option button, and disable everything, it still freezes, though there is NO add-on at all! If I enable the “Re-prompt to import add-ons” (when starting with the option button pressed) then RapidWeaver LAUNCHES without freezing, but there are no add- ons (even after installing some of them). This all happened suddenly and without me doing or adding something new. ---

If you get it to launch (even without addons) hold down command+option and push 7, this will open the addons folder in a finder window. Take ALL of the addons OUT of this folder and put them in a folder on your desktop. Then slowly start adding addons. Start with the ones you ABSOLUTELY can not live without (like the Stacks Plugin). Add 3 at a time. After each install of 3 addons, then restart RapidWeaver normally and see if it works. If it does, add 3 more. If not, remove those 3 and try them 1 at a time (the same 3). See if one of those 3 breaks it by itself. Not a fun way to do it, but it might help you figure out what is going on. ---
