We may not be able to restore the workspace if it crashed during save, but we may try to overcome the problem. If we find a corrupted file, we may report an error and allow the workspace to start. The user would probably need to re-import all projects but it is better than leaving the workspace in unusable state.

Eric, could you please zip your workspace and attach it to this bug so that we can investigate how much information we can restore?

I've just encountered this problem. I'm going to delete the resources directory as suggested, but I've saved a copy in case anyone wants to analyze it. I'd rather not attach it to the bug directly (too hard to verify it doesn't contain sensitive info), but I'm willing to email it to a dev if one is interested in taking a look at it. The gzip archive is 2.7MB.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
