[Qgis-user] can't open file.qgs

[Brent Wood]

Running on Windows?

My guess is that if you rename the "file.qgs~" to "file.qgs" & retry it might work...

Note that this will obviously overwrite your existing "file.qgs", but if this is a zero byte file, you aren't losing much.

If it is an ongoing project I suggest a regular backup of the whole project tree - otherwise what can go wrong eventually will...
again...

Cheers,

  Brent Wood

My computer crashed and now I cannot open a file anymore I was working with for the last 6 months 
The file.qgs has 0 bytes, but there is a file.qgs~ with 262Kb.  J
Can I get the file back and how, or do I need to start fresh?  L
Thanks for any help. I switched back from a weekly to Valmiera because I need a stabile environment. Now is that ironic or what?   J
