Repairing broken files

[PerfectSymmetry]

So I was doing some experimenting, and decided to remove the PDN area of one of my Paint.net files, then replaced it, after realizing no auto fixer tool was in place, But now I'm getting a 'Attempted to read past end of script' Error. I'm wondering is it down to there not being a NULL code at the end (000000), or something else. The attached file is the error.

I think, it's important to know, what (HEX)editor you used and how the file header looks in it.

 

And btw: never work with the original file - always use a copy.

Try the WhatsIt plugin. If that doesn't work I suspect the file is doomed.

I gotta ask ... why on Earth would you do this? Especially without making a backup?

 

And what does "PDN area" even mean? The whole file is a PDN ...

I did not think about making a backup. Well, number 167 to the Idiot moment counter!
