In case you're under Mac OS X and you're not afraid to use Terminal, here's also an other tip to recover a file as it was before you opened it. A user tested it successfully a few days ago.
He was forced to quit Sweet Home 3D, and when he relaunched it, his SH3D file was corrupted:
- In Terminal application, launch the following command:
Code: Select all
sudo ls /var/folders/*/*/-Tmp-/open*.sweethome3d
This command requires the administrator password and will list the opened SH3D files before Sweet Home 3D crashes (normally these temporary files are deleted when Sweet Home 3D normally quits).
- If Terminal lists some files, copy them on your Desktop with this command:
Code: Select all
sudo cp /var/folders/*/*/-Tmp-/open*.sweethome3d ~/Desktop
- Finally, replace the
.sweethome3d extension by
.sh3d extension to be able to open the recovered files with Sweet Home 3D.
