Hi all,
like every day I open my ToDoList Software, but this time my ToDoList was completely empty (no file open). So I clicked on File --> Open TDL --> select the file in the location drive and then an error message pops up:
German: C:\User\.... konnte nicht geöffnet werden, weil es beinhaltet fehlerhaftes XML, welches die MSXML Komponente nicht interpretieren kann.
English (Google Translator): C:\User\.... could not be opened, because it contains malformed XML that the MSXML component cannot interpret.
Can someone tell me whats wrong with my tdl.file? Yesterday it work like usual. I already restarted my computer but this didn't help.

Cannot open a tdl.file

Re: Cannot open a tdl.file
This can mean:
1. Something 'bad' was pasted into a task's comments which the software was unable to 'clean up'
2. There was an interruption during the save process which corrupted the task file
Try:
1. Locating your most recent valid backup
2. Comparing this version with the broken version to gain insight into what broke it
Then get back to me...
Re: Cannot open a tdl.file
Hi abstr,
thank you for your quick reply! I didn't know that beside my saved tdl.file there is also a backup folder, where all backups are located. I'm now using one of the back-up files and can continue with my to-dos.
Unfortunately I don't know how to compare both versions without opening them in the ToDoList-Software.

Re: Cannot open a tdl.file
Yes, this can be non-trivial if you are not familiar with file comparisons, and harder still comparing XML files.
I'll see what I can do to simplify this process in case the problem happens again in the future.
