Description doubleotrouble 2016-09-28 18:55:36 UTC

I spent the day working on an art piece, and I made sure to save the kra before closing my laptop. However, it turned off when it bumped against something as I was carrying it. When I turned on my laptop again and tried to open the .kra file, it said it was not a valid krita file.
I used a zip repair tool, and now have the .icc for the layers, but the .png doesn't show up either, saying that the image is corrupted.
Help? This has happened one other time before, but it didn't bother me much because it was a five minute sketch.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Hi,

You're sort of in luck, only the last three layers were irrecoverably corrupted. Here's a kra with everything that I could recover. You haven't specified which version of Krita you are using, but Krita 3.0.1.1 has some extra protection against possible file corruption. I also always recomment to use the save-incremental feature.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much oh my goodness. I'm so glad. Really, this made my day, I'm so relieved. You are amazing, seriously. And yeah, I'm definitely going to update Krita now so that this problem doesn't happen again. Anyway, once more: thank you!
