Restore corrupted stack

[Bob Sneidar]

This happened to me the first time I opened a stack in version 7. Check to see if there is a stack file with a tilde (~) in the name in the same folder as the original stack. When LC attempts to convert a stack, it saves the old stack using a tilde in the name so you can recover if something has gone horribly awry. This file can be renamed and opened in the old version of LC.

If you can do all this, the next thing to do is subscribe to a decent cloud based backup system that has versioning, so you can recover in case things go catastrophically awry (not to be confused with horribly awry, which is not nearly as terrible as catastrophic).

Yes, I understand the change in stack format. Unfortunately the stack
won’t open in any version of LC 7. I always get the stack corrupted
dialog.

In that case I think the team would like to see the stack, so it's probably time for a bug report.
