How do I repair a broken keynote file manually?
Hi,
Is there any way to edit a broken keynote file that keynote itself won't open by editing it manually to remove single slides that are suspected
to cause the trouble? Or, alternatively, can keynote be forced to open broken files as good as it can? Is there any error log file of keynote I could consult, too?
Background:
My keynote (1.1.1) refuses to open a keynote file that has been created on the same machine with the very same program. The first sign of strange behaviour was that the thumbnails in the navigation bar were not any longer updated. Otherwise creating, playing and saving ⚠ and closing the file worked perfectly fine without error message. I "just" cannot open it again. The error message on opening the file
says that an error had occurred and is not really helpful.
In terms of the bar showing the progress of loading the file, the error occurs between 80 and 90 % progress, though recent changes I made to the file concern exclusively the first 20% of the presentation.
The directory structure looks ok (rights etc., too) and I am quite clueless what to do now.
