I had finished 90% of a drawing but I needed a break so I saved it, I went to open it and this error keeps coming up:

"System.FormatException: file is not a valid paint.net document

 
   at PaintDotNet.Document.FromStream(Stream stream) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Data\Document.cs:line 1328
 
   at PaintDotNet.Data.PdnFileType.OnLoad(Stream input) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\PaintDotNet\Data\PdnFileType.cs:line 30
 
   at PaintDotNet.FileType.Load(Stream input) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Data\FileType.cs:line 476
 
   at PaintDotNet.Functional.Func.Eval[T1,TRet](Func`2 f, T1 arg1) in d:\src\pdn\paintdotnet\src\Base\Functional\Func.cs:line 158"
 
What can I do?
I hope my drawing isn't gone for good it took hours:(

If it is identified as jpeg then you saved it as jpeg. You can open it by changing the extension to .jpg.

Sorry to say but if you used layers in the file then they are lost.

You tried to rename the file in Explorer and it didn't work?

Maybe you can do it by opening the explorer properties dialog of the file.
