Can't read home / Can't open saved file after some modifications have been saved

[silverstone]

Hi,

I really like this software, but since I last updated my Home plan (September 2021), something must have happened.

I copied my last Home plan and gave it a new name (thankfully). Then I tried to update my Home plan, first using Sweet Home 3D 6.6.2 (Ubuntu 22.04 AMD64) now Sweet Home 3D 7.0.2 (Ubuntu 22.10 AMD64). I started in both cases (separately) from a know working file, that I could open with both Sweet Home 3D versions.

After some changes are made, the file is saved (CTRL+S) without error. Then I close the app, again without any error.

To my horror, when I tried to open the file I had saved, I get the dreaded message "Can't open home ...".

By trying to open the file from terminal, I get the following Debug information:

Code: Select all

Do you have any idea of what is going on ? I really need to update my Home plan ... The file is approximatively 7.6MB big.

There was a unreadable character in the name of a piece of furniture and this provoked an error in XML parser.
Very strange and not sure how to fix this error which I never encountered yet [:(]
