It seems the creation of an alternate saving option is where the magic happens that occasionally salvages a project.

I wondered if there may be such an alternate way to create a saved sgu within Biab that would produce the same result as the external saving does using RB.

I don't have a corrupt file to experiment with but if any of you guys have saved one of the corrupt files you've encountered, you may want to try this alternate method to create a new version sgu file to save I found if you haven't already done so.

{ Open the corrupt file }
{ File\Save Special\Email Song File(s) as attachment... }
{ Email the song to yourself and import that sgu file and determine if this method creates an alternate save of the file similar to the RB fix. }

I have no idea if this works but it appears to me that a sgu is created in a different manner than the normal saves that do not make the changes that strip the files in a manner to recover a corrupt file.
