Where is my RW8 file

[rapidbernardos58 (Bernard O'Sullivan)]

Hi All

I have saved a RW7 project converted to RW8, I can see a folder which holds things like pages, resources, sharedplugindata etc, but I can’t see the true RW8 project file. RW8 where are you???

Also on a separate note is there any way of stopping RW from creating this folder every time I make a small change and save. Typically in RW7 I might have as many as 20 versions of such a folder attached to one saved project file.

The RW8 projects have the .rw8 extension. You could try searching for that in the location you save your project to.

RW8 not saving/uploading properly

Are you certain you’re opening the correct file? It can be a tad confusing when switching over. RapidWeaver 8 makes a COPY of your project file – it leaves the RapidWeaver 7 file untouched, I guess as a just-in-case fallback if something goes wrong. The files should have the same name but: RW8 file: Purple and blue RW7 file: Blue and yellow if you have extensions enabled in the Finder the RW8 file will be called <filename>.rw8 and the RW7 file will just be called <filename>.rw Make sure…

When in RW, right-click on the file name in the title bar for the project. You’ll see the full path to where the project file is stored.
