File Can't be opened

[David]

When I try to open one specific .xmind file which was created by
myself I get following error code and can't open the file. Is there
any way I can get my data?

I found the filesize is 0 bites now (and of course cant be opened by a
zip program as suggested in an other discussion).
I was still editing and saving today - after a crash of Xmind 3.0.2
the file couldent be opened again. Seems a half a day of work is lost.

Hi David 

What operating system are you using?

I have got exactly the same problem, same operating system, same
event :-(((

XMind was saving automatically every few minutes, than the programme
froze, so I had to close it - and now the file seems to be gone :-(

Has anyone any ideas how to get it back?

Regards

Hi 

What about disabling auto-save? What time did you set to auto-save your file?

I have the same issue, same version, using XP.

Disabling auto-save might be a great idea going forward, but is there
any hope of recovering the file? I'm in the same boat... half a day's
work appears to be gone. This is a pretty serious problem, in my
opinion.

On Vista my XMind 3.0.2 session crashed while I was moving a topic on
the screen. I opened it again to find the same error as others have
reported here.

Given my system crashed and in doing so corrupted my file, I can't see
how disabling auto-save will help me (auto-save should in theory
protect me from this kind of problem in the first place, no?). As far
as I can tell, the only way I can use XMind 3.0.2 with any peace of
mind is to continually copy my current file in the filesystem so that
when the working file is corrupted, I can go to a previous version. I
don't like the idea of doing this every 5 minutes.

Stephen, has any progress been made on this issue?

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew 

I think the latest version, v3.0.3 will help you. :) Please download the full version from website. 

Sincerely!
