I was opening a rather large file I created to work on it and as it was loading it gave me an error: Could not read project; file may be damaged (key not found).
I cannot lose this as I have been working on it for months, and my last version is quite a while ago. As far as I know, I did not exit while saving, and I tried copying and renaming with the proper extension. It still does not work. How can I fix it?

Try a system restore to before this happened

Could you upload the project to dropbox or so? Maybe I could rescue it with M30W

@joefarebrother, a system restore won't help at all, it's the file, not the program

Do you remember if you had been saving the file, and exited scratch before it had completely saved?

It is unknown what causes this error or how to fix it.
It's happened and been reported many times before. It's a really annyoing bug hmm

As far as I know, it's unfixable. Sorry. sad

I got this on Windows 7, when I opened a folder in Scratch through the 'Open' window. It brought up a message in the corner of the screen saying that Scratch said a file (not the one I wanted to open, just one of my Scratch projects) was damaged.
Luckily, I didn't need to open that file, as it was a finished project, so I just uploaded it from the Scratch website to my drive and it worked fine tongue
