Dear Bricklink Community,
I have been unable to load one of my inventory files allegedly due to some "incorrectly
encoded content" (see image). Is there any way to retrieve/revive this file,
perhaps to an earlier cached version?
Also, any ideas on what would cause such an error? I'd like to know if I
did something that might have caused this error and if there are ways to avoid
such a problem in the future.
Thank you very much for your help!

You can open the file in notepad and check if the XML header is defined.

Like on my screenshot:

Tried it without the top line, works in the latest version.

I can take a look if you can't get it to work, feel free to contact me.

In the end, the file somehow got utterly corrupted. Thanks a lot to 1001Bricks
for helping me figure it out.
