This feature seems to have been removed in RW8, replaced instead with the simulator, which is great, but useless for checking breakpoints etc. Can it be put back please?

Might check out this post: [image] Finding Breakpoints in Rapidweaver 8 RapidWeaver This seemed to provide an answer (maybe?) but I can’t find the “options” referred to… The answer was: “Use custom settings in the new window.” What custom settings? New window? …

I think it refers t the custom setting in the simulator, but that’s not really an option, as leaving the simulator open slows the workflow down massively as it keeps refreshing every time something is changed, plus it’s a PITA!

You can switch “Auto Refresh” off, and if you set the simulator window to “custom” you can make it any size you like. See the attached screenshot: https://realmacsoftware.d.pr/vpdAnR Hope that helps.

Good point! Thanks Dan. My refresh is actually quite good here. But I others mentioned issues.

Even with auto refresh off, it still often causes RW8 to keep jumping between two pages until restarted. I do think that Simulator is really good, but I don’t understand why you’re forcing peoples workflow to change, unless there are technical reasons for removing the feature?

@dan yes, it would be nice to have the old way in addition to the simulator.

I also loved the way of quickly checking breakpoints within the preview, especially while working with foundry or foundation.

+1 I want the resizeable preview back. Why removing a working and loved feature? (And why the the new Simulator? Google Chromes Developer Preview and Safaris Responsive View do the job perfectly?)

Why can't I resize the preview window in RW8?
