One way would be to email me your file to see if I can recover it. But you might want to keep the contents secret.

- What version(s) of each program did you use to save/open?
- On Linux, if you can run Kabikaboo from command line, then open your file, it might give you some debug information.

To run from command line, I think you can just type "kabikaboo", or, "which kabikaboo" and then run that.

The only message when run from the command line was "Invalid file".

Hi,

I've had the same problem and I found a workaround.

The problem is the EOL (end of line) character : <CR><LF> in Windows and <LF> in Unix like OS.
The solution I tested on a Debian 7.1 is : open the windows .kaboo file in kwrite then go to Tools -> End of line -> Unix stile. Save the file with different name.

Hope it helps.
Bless you.
