Students’s file will not open. I tried renaming the .skb file but no luck with that.
@colin any chance either of these will open for you?
or
I’m not Colin but I had a look at the files. The .skp file is missing a large chunk of data at the end. The last 10% of the file is nothing but zeroes. In the case of the .skb file, about 70% of the file is nothing but zeroes. It looks like the files are unrecoverable.
Where was the student saving the file while working on it? Did they experience a power failure or something?
I was away on a field trip with another class at the time, but no power failure I am aware of. Usually I get something out of the SKB file. Our set up with deep freeze on our lab computers requires students to save to USB drives…not great.
No. That’s not great although I get why it’s done. Lots of users have wound up with fatally corrupted files when working on files saved directly to a USB drive.
Was this a memory stick type of USB drive? Do the students supply them? It might not hurt to suggest the student get a new, high quality replacement.
