> I’ve just updated RapidWeaver, not having used it for some time. I got the message in the Topic Title. The window indicates 4 files, all of which say External, three of which say File is accessible, and three of which are on an Unknown Volume. If I Click the Scan Folder Button, I get directed to my project folder. But I have no idea how to find out what files are missing, or what to do about this issue.

> Having seen the missing resources issues in recent times, I delayed updating. Today took the plunge to 8.1.6 and pretty much all resources are missing in all my projects. And these are certainly not just old resources that are no longer needed. This is a shed load of work - why??

> I have an enhancement @dan first, which is that when you have nested folders you can expand the file manager to locate the file you are looking for (see picture) when trying to relinking resources! Second, the Scan folder option doesn’t seem to do anything? Thanks
