I tried to load my .aseprite file from yesterday and i get prompted with an error message, although this was working perfectly last night. Any ideas? this has happened to me twice now and now i have lost my hours of work.
Done. Just sent the broken file 
Sorry @BITbOY I’ve just saw your file and it’s full of null bytes. Other people on Windows 10 experienced this issue too with a possible solution. Where you saving the file in a USB driver? or your personal disk? could you please do a check disk?
Anyway at this moment the file cannot be recovered. I’m thinking for the future some possibles ways to avoid this. For example: 1) reopen the file to validate that it was correctly saved, 2) don’t destroy the sessions data when the program is closed so we can recover old sprites in these special cases.
im saving the files to my personal disk, the C drive. It may be me not shutting my computer down correctly. Thanks for the advice, ill be more cautious in the future.
Hi, I’m using a Surface Pro Book 4 and recently it blue screened (well the Windows 10 version of a blue screen anyway) while I was working on a file. I received the “error in header” message when attempting to reopen the file after the forced reboot. The file is being saved locally - is there anything I can do to try to fix this on my side? I’ve sent the error log - I’m on version 1.2.3
Hi @bit, did you send me an email to support@aseprite.org? We might be able to restore the original sprite if you send me your sessions file. Check the Data Recovery article in the docs.
I tried load my .aseprite file from yesterday (who i uploaded to Google drive), and i get a error message, alredy sent an e-mail
From the email, I saw that the .ase file is an HTML file with JavaScript code, so it looks like you might saved the webpage instead of downloading the .ase file.
Having the same issue with two of my files too. I have no idea what happened to cause them to end up like this.
Hi @Andregynous, did you try to recover the original files from the Recover Files option?
Would you mind to share those two files with us at support@aseprite.org?
I did try it, and unfortunately there is no data stored there for either files - and on top of that I made a new discovery in that I can’t open some regular .png and jpeg files. They show up as a purple bar in my Aseprite document explorer when opening files, before the error comes up.
As for the two Aseprite files themselves, I’ll send them over as soon as possible!
