I’m sorry to say that you’re file doesn’t open on my computer either.
I’ve looked through the other thread in an attempt to learn something about this… and have had a small bit of success in trying to open this file via the ruby command line.
I don’t imagine that what I have is too useful here since the file size is anemic compared to what you’ve uploaded onto your google drive.
What does show up are a few initial components,… which unfortunately don’t appear refined enough to match what’s shown in the file preview picture.
I’ll keep trying here. maybe I can improve upon things.
And perhaps since I’ve made some progress, there’s a chance that others around here—who are more experienced at this sort of recovery stuff—can get even better results.
How frustrating for you. I downloaded it just to see if randomly it would open up but it wouldn’t. I can however, see the thumbnail in the file explorer which is very tantalising.
I really hope you get it back.
Have you tried going back into the temp files to see if there’s an older version hanging about?
How do you know? Was backups disabled? Is your documents folder set to show all files? Set the folder to display file extensions and show hidden files.
My sympathies, I know the feeling - like when my hard drive blew up and took all my work with it. Have to say JImD loved your witty, wise and beautifully told story.
