Whoops!

This goes in here because I can't think of anyplace else to put it.
I share projects with different people, and depending on who I share them with I save them with different authors. A while ago, I loaded a .sb file up in a text editor, and saw there is a history of different saves, with time, date, filename, and author. I deleted all but one of them (nothing else) and changed the filename of the one, but now Scratch is convinced the file has a bad header and it won't load it. Is there any way to either fix it or remake it given the non-save info? I don't have a copy of the original or a list of saves (the information is lost for good, pretty much, unless I can get it back out of everything else).
Thanks in advance.

This is at the top of one of my projects, look at the things besides the history to see if anything is different

Re: Whoops!

Notepad doesnot reconise some of the characters in the file. It converts the unknown symbols into something to be displayed. Changing any part of the text will cause the file to save "as is" so the converted text is not what it originaly was and so the file becomes corrupt.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: Whoops!

Blade-Edge: Thanks, I'll try to compare it, but see what-the's post, you didn't capture any unprintables. Also I noticed some differences with the header between different files, but if memory serves it was a single character.
what-the: It was in Notepad++, which displays unprintable characters as a black box with three white characters, I didn't modify any.
Thanks for the quick responses  smile
