Updated to RW7 this morning.  
While I am impressed with the many new features, the program constantly freezes while it’s in the process of automatically updating/exporting as I make changes to the project.  
If I cancel the ‘exporting’ dialog box I no longer have access to ‘preview’.  
The only way out of the situation is to shut down RW, and reopen. Naturally, the changes that I had not saved have been lost.

Curiously, although I have worked on and saved a couple of projects, neither of these shows up in the ‘Open\>recent’ window.  
Using Verd theme from rapid-ideas  
Thanks for any input
