Corrupted waveform file

[merg00]

Hi I was working with my project when my laptop battery died. When I tried to open the project, it says "Couldn't load the project file". I saw similar problems here that involves editing the .tracktionedit file in notepad, but It was too complicated for me. I've been working with this project for weeks that's why I don't want to give up on this yet. This is not the first time that my battery died while working with the project, but every time I open it, it works fine. This is the first time that the file got corrupted. If anyone have solution for this problem, I would appreciate it.

I'm using a tracktion 10.

I'm using Waveform-11 so I'm not sure I can remember if the auto backup feature was part of WF-10. If it was and you has Waveform set to make backups in the settings tab, you will find these under the project folder/Backups

There's a backup folder inside of my project folder. It contains WAVEFORMBACKUP file type. I tried opening the most recent one in waveform using the "restore backup", then it it gives me another folder. I can see that it's the folder from my last save, but when I tried to open the project, it still won't load. The "tracktion file" file type is just a 1KB file compared to the original tracktion file which is 70KB. There's another file in the folder, a "Tracktion edit file" file type. I tried changing the file extension of it into a "tracktion file" and then open it using waveform but still produce the same couldn't open file result. What should I do with the backup folder it gave me?

It'll be the .tracktionedit file. It can be edited with Notepad.
