Re: [libreoffice-users] corrupt .odt file

Hi :)
Hmm, something else is to make a copy of the .odt and rename it's file-ending from .odt to .zip and 
then double-click to open it in an archive manager.  Inside there the file
contents.xml
might contain a lot of the data.  It's easier to read in non-Windows platforms or use a decent 
text-editor such as Notepad++ or SciTe or something.  Notepad can't colour-code the tags and things 
which makes it difficult to separate the tags from the contents visually.  Most other platforms 
have a decent text-editor by default.  

Look for the words "Plain text" in the status-bar and click on it or hunt in the "View" menu for an 
option to display the file as html, or css, or xml instead of viewing as plain text.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hello Mailinglist,

the odt file for storing my workresults is broken.
I did not backup the file for the past 19 days.
So it does hurt :(

Here is what happened:

I was rendering XSL to PDF, which consumed lots of system-resources.
The system was not responding properly anymore.
I got impatient and pressed the reset button.

-rw-rw-r-- 1 jan  jan  2735419 2012-02-21 14:05 2012-02-02_LSF14.odt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 jan  jan        0 2012-02-21 14:05 .~lock.2012-02-02_LSF14.odt#

As you can see above there is a .~lock file.
Which means that the system was busy doing something with the file when i pressed reset.

I would be super happy if you could help me fixing the corrupt file.
