Unfortunately, if the files are correctly names and still don't open, then it does sound like the files are lost. If the backup added extra characters to the names, then just rename the file. BeerSmith makes its own backups with a simple number scheme: Recipe1.bsmx Recipe2.bsmx and the same for any other user file. I now have BeerSmith up and running (after manually installing the supporting libpng12-0 package), but I cant import my recipe. BeerSmith hadnt been running on Ubuntu 16.10, so I tried a clean install. They should look like: Recipe.bsmx or Equipment.bsmx or age.bsmx and so forth. bsmx recipe files into BeerSmith 2.3.7 on Ubuntu 16.10. Look at the names of the recovered files. Whatever old file space was needed by the new programs and their files is now lost, unfortunately.

Once you started to add the OS and user programs in addition to BeerSmith, the data was overwriting all old files encountered as needed for new files. Depending on the OS you used to reformat, the disc might not be recoverable.

A Full Format tests all of the disc sectors which involves writing and then reading small bits of data, which makes those file areas unrecoverable. The most basic reformat only erases the file management tree in the disc root file. Depending on how you reformatted and how much new data you added to the hard drive, will determine the success of recovering old files intact. I always get An unknown error occurred while accessing FileLocation.bsm. It's hard to say if the files are corrupted. Perhaps you have older backups somewhere? Perhaps you have some recipes on the BeerSmith cloud? Half of something is better than all of nothing. bsmx, but that just hard crashed the program.Īny ideas? Anyone I can send the file to that can open it and send me the xml's or the raw txt files? I'd rather enter them again manually than lose them completely.Didn't you make a backup of all old documents, pictures and user files? Typically, new OS procedures at least prompt you to do so, if not to a disc or cloud automagically. I REALLY need to get to those recipes, since I am about 4-5 months away from opening my brewery. bsm file and a few recipes I put up on the cloud are all I have left of my library stretching back 10 years. Now, when I open BS2 on the old PC, it seems to have updated or reverted and lost everything, so this. It's parked on my desktop, and when I use the 'open file' command, I get an error message that tells me nothing (image).

Now, I can't figure out how to import that file into BS3. I moved that file onto a thumb drive, then from there onto the Mac. I double clicked it and it opened in BS2 with the library intact, so I know that it's the right file.

So I went into the program files and found a file that is the recipe library. Welcome to the new forum We upgraded our forum software with a host of new boards, capabilities and features. I was finally able to get BS2 to open somehow, but couldn't export my recipes. I now have a MacBook Air with BS3 Commercial downloaded. It got so bad that BS2 would no longer open, and I had to use the iPad for brew sessions the last 2 times. I have used BS 2 on it for years, but the computer finally has pretty much given up the ghost. I had an ancient HP ProBook running Win7. This command opens a file and places that. I searched through the archive, but I don't see anything directly pertaining to my problem. This command is most often used for importing recipes from an file or email attachment.
