LO .odt won't open Panic!
I have been working with LO Writer for months and today I was trying to open my file from the "recent" and it DIDN'T EXIST! I located it finally, but it won't open. It looked like it was .xml file for some reason and it started to launch InDesign!!!? I changed the file type to .odt but it won't still open. It shows me that there's 14,6Mt worth of work. How will I get back my latest work?
I'm desperate...
General Error. General input/output error. Version: 5.4.7.2
First do a copy of the file. After that recover the extension on the copy and try to open it selecting xml as file type?
Have you got any backups ? My Libre Office makes its own backups by default they are stored in a hidden folder, but mine are customised to specific easily found folders. You need to say what the Operating System is an the version and also what version of Libre Office is in use. Whatever you do for now as mentioned by @m.a.riosv always copy any file you are attempting to recover before opening the copy.
