Did a bunch of work on my site, can’t seem to save it. I had resource issues in a previous version of RW with this file. I deleted every resource I’m no longer using. I am using RW 8.8.3. I am using Stacks and Foundry.

I think the first step in publishing is saving, so publishing doesn’t work either.

There were very large video files previously (now deleted), I am trying to get them into the Amazon cloud so they are not stored in the RW file.

Any suggestions as to how I can resolve are very welcome because I need to get these site revisions online.

Couldn’t save a sandwich of type “Resource”, because duplicating a file from /var/folders/bp/kh98zst97yq9hf004l039ht80000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8-2943/f2w8R7/Contents.plist to /var/folders/bp/kh98zst97yq9hf004l039ht80000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8/TemporaryItems/NSIRD\_RapidWeaver 8\_QM6YMy/clearseeing 2021.07.11.rw8/Resources/C300D313-D043-499D-8BA4-5E226A694F2E/Contents.plist failed with an underlying error of Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=516 ““Contents.plist” couldn’t be copied to “C300D313-D043-499D-8BA4-5E226A694F2E” because an item with the same name already exists.” UserInfo={NSSourceFilePathErrorKey=/var/folders/bp/kh98zst97yq9hf004l039ht80000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaver8-2943/f2w8R7/Contents.plist, NSUserStringVariant=(

Sorry to hear you’re having issues.

You can move pages between projects, so…

You could try starting a new project and dragging and dropping the pages to the new project. You should then be able to save the new project so you don’t loose any work.

I know it’s an annoying work around, but I think that should work. I then recommend restarting your machine.

Hope that helps.
