.spp File CORRUPTED after assigning SubstancePainter to it as default program
polycounter lvl 4
Hello people.
I was working on a substance project for a long and I wanted to do the finishing touches today for the final renders. the save file has always been blank (A file that doesn't have an assigned program to run it if you click on the file to open it ) I always opened the project IN substance painter. But today I opened it for the first time through the saved document (or I tried) Windows said that I had to assign a program to it to open it, so of course I assigned Substance Painter 2017 to it (SubstancePainter.exe). When I opened it said: Can;t decode data. I searched around and saw on another post that the file is now corrupted. BUT I didn't see a post of someone having the same problem as I did. Assigning the document to Substance and then being 'corrupted'
Does this mean I just lost hours on hours of work or did I assign the document to the wrong exe or..?
I never had this before in previous versions so I'm kinda panicked...
I hope someone can help me out here.
And already: Thanks for reading

The corruption most likely happened before hand, when you want working on the project. Even if on your side things seems fine, re-opening the project can show that the data have actually corrupted.
