Need help recovering a corrupt .xrns

So basically, my .xrns project got merc’d when I unplugged my external USB drive prematurely. I was able to use a utility called DMDE to recover the file, but it won’t open in Renoise, says it’s corrupt. Renaming it as a .zip didn’t help either. I tried attaching the file just now to upload it here, but cannot as I am a new user. Anybody got any suggestions? Here’s hoping, I lost a day’s work. :frowning:

You need to give permissions to access the file.

(Change it to “anyone with the link”.)

Have you done an intensive scan before recovering or did you a fast scan?
In my experience DMDE is one of the best recover softwares out there.
I was able to recover complete HDDs/SSDs without any data loss.

Did you also save the recovered files to a separate disk?

Archive:  marianne.xrns.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

i don’t know what else to do, unfortunately.
