Foot Prints missing from .lib file

Hi I was working on my footprints file when power went out on my computer. When I rebooted project all foot prints are not showing up in library window. The file size is still large. Is there a way to recover this work. It has a weeks worth of parts in it.

Regards

I was able to up date my components into PCB file but the foot prints are not visable in part manager.

Hi,

The file size is only about 31KB so it is quite small. I don't think there are any components in it. Check your project history directories and maybe you might have something to recover.

Good luck.

I've inspected your library file using a hex editor - it contains all zeros, so I'm afraid there's nothing to recover. I hope you can find a backup somewhere.

As mentioned by Thomas the <project-name>/History folder will hopefully contain a backup, these are ZIP files so hopefully you will find something to recover in there.

Thanks I was not aware there was a history. For some reason all of the PCB LIBs had the same problem. The good news is I found a PCB file with the correct parts in it,. It did take some work but I did repair the damage.

Regards
