Thanks for sending me your TMs.  Unfortunately there is nothing I can do with them as they are completely corrupted.  The error message you get in Studio is the exactly the same message you get if you try to open them in a SDLite editor.  I tried repairing them by carrying out an emergency dump with some SQL commands and the resultant TM was a new empty one.

I really hope you have kept a backup of your TMs because on the basis of the ones you sent me they are irrecoverable.

Did anything unusual happen that could have caused all of your TMs to be damaged like this?  Do you keep them on an external drive perhaps, or maybe store them on some shared drive somewhere?

I do, but it's a copy of the one I sent you :-(

It must have been a file retrieval when I accidentally canceled the whole folder with my translations. Luckily I recovered almost everything. I'll do some alignments with my old translations. Thank you so much for your time and efforts. I really appreciate it.

It's worth thinking about an export to TMX on a regular basis and backing it up.  It's harder to damage a flat file like this and it's safer for backups.

Thanks!
