help recovering project file

Hi, can anyone help me with recovering a project that some how corrupted? all the sound files, automation, etc are saved and seem to be ok, but the project file itself won’t open; the message it gives is this:

[ERROR]:Could not understand ardour file /home/…oun/oun.ardour
[ERROR]:Session “home/…/oun (snapshot oun)” did not load successfully

This was a near-finished project that I would really like to retrieve, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

you should get on IRC, preferably. see info in the “Support” tab.
