I tried to open it but it shows the same message you say.
Something is wrong with the file.
It never happened to me.

I restored as much as I could. That bottom layer I called 'something' was a vector layer with 63 points, but I had to copy points from elsewhere to get a look at it. You may need to redo that layer.

And I assume there's more that got lost.

Should be a warning to all to save multiple versions. Something that some (most?) production software does automatically, and would be a good addition to AS. The text file format is rather more robust than most proprietary ones, but it's still a good idea to save at least one or two versions as you go (the rule of thumb, as always, is to only save the data you don't want to lose).

If you use v-aviles scene selector- a great tool, it will save backups automatically along the way, and keeps them in a backup folder .
