"XCF: This file is corrupt! I have loaded as much
of it as I can, but it is incomplete."

....eurgh?

I've worked on this one file for weeks. Weeks. There has to be a way to save it. I still have the file...but it says it's corrupt. This has never happened before. My GIMP files always pull through. But one day, I closed it, and I opened it up..and boom. Corrupted.

On the "recent history", at first the image still showed up as what it was, though minimized as all images (a dragon head and torso, hundreds of scales, shaded and colored partially, with the individual scales being shaded), but after a few more loading tries the recent history didn't show any image.

But still, the image is still there. Only the first layer was saved (pre-spike shading), but it's got to still be there, there's a way to fix this.

I'm willing to set it back if I have to to any point, so long as I've still got some of it. Can someone please help?

The recent history would just be showing the cached thumbnail of the image, it doesn't actually access the XCF file itself.[/quote]

I am skeptical of the file being recoverable. If you'd care to e-mail a copy of the file to me, I'd be glad to look into it. My e-mail address is "@flashingtwelve.brickfilms.com".
Everybody makes their own fun. If you don't make it yourself it's not fun, it's entertainment.
