I’m having the same problem. Projects aren’t saved in RW8. Impossible to rely on, therefore unusable until fixed.

Back to RW 7.

Is it happening on a single project? It appears these maybe two different things from both descriptions? The original post says could not open, the second post says projects aren’t saved.

Anyway I think more information on both issues would be needed to help get them resolved.

Hi  
I think this issue arose due to the fact that I was storing my projects in the cloud (Dropbox)  
To me it appears there is an issue in synchronisation.  
I have moved my projects.  
I don’t think Rapidweaver is at fault here just my understanding ie:- misunderstanding  
If this is noted somewhere in the literature I missed it.  
Thanks for your comments
