Troubleshooting
I can’t open my project / File Recovery mode
SONAR's File Recovery Mode offers a means to help recover data from damaged project files.
To use File Recovery mode
Do one of the following:
• If you are opening a file from the Most Recently Used files list in the File menu, hold down the
SHIFT key while selecting file name.
• If you are opening the file from the Open dialog box, select the file in the dialog box and hold
down the SHIFT key while clicking the OK button.
What does File Recovery mode do?
File Recovery Mode applies the following behavior when opening a project file:
• Opens only the Track view, skipping all other opened views in the project including effects
windows, Console View etc.
• Prompts you to open the plug-ins saved with your project. Each plug-in gets a prompt, so you can
open some and not open others.
• Ignores various strict error checks that would normally prevent a file from loading.
• Detects corrupt data and skips over “chunks” that are found to be invalid. E.g., if a track/event is
detected to contain invalid data, SONAR will attempt to skip over that track/event and proceed to
load the next track/event.
In many cases, File Recovery Mode may be able to open damaged projects with minimal data loss.
However, the level of success depends on the nature and extent of the data corruption, so the
results are not predictable. As a result of this, after opening a damaged project in File Recovery
Mode, you must carefully observe whether your settings have been retained or if the project exhibits
other problems. If you notice problems you should copy and paste the critical data from the
recovered file into a brand new empty project to start clean.
After loading a file with File Recovery Mode, it is recommended that you resave the file—preferably
with a new name—and then shut down and restart SONAR before proceeding.
More “Frequently asked questions” on page 1364.
Important: If you choose to not open a plug-in, that plug-in is stripped out of the project, so
resaving the file will cause a loss of any project specific settings for that plug-in.
Important: Since File Recovery Mode ignores many critical error checks while loading a file,
depending on the nature of the data corruption in the file, it is possible that opening a file with
File Recovery Mode might cause SONAR to crash or become unresponsive. Please ensure that
you save all your current work and close all open projects
before attempting to open a file with
File Recovery Mode.
