File won't open after blue screen

Hey, just a bit ago, my computer blue screened while I had a TVPaint file open and now I cannot get the file to re-open.

It gives me no error, it doesn't crash the program or anything. It just hangs there and acts as if I tried to open nothing. I tried to open it on an older version of TVPaint (I am using 10) and it does the same. I did not have the Auto Back-up enabled at the time.

-REMOVED FILE-
(The file)
I'm really hoping it isn't corrupted and am uploading it in case someone is able to salvage it.

Any ideas?

I took a look, it won't open for me. I examined the file in a hex editor, it's 32 megs of NULL (0x00).

Aw dang. So it's completely empty. Sucks.

Def gonna start using the auto back-up now.

Thanks though!

Autobackup is a very good idea!

It won't open in my interface neither, but let's see with developers if they can do something on their side ;)

Indeed, the file is empty. I'm afraid we can't do anything :(

Drat, okay. Thanks for trying though! Fortunately I have the finished PNGs of some of them, so it's better than losing all my progress.

Deleted the file and removed the link.
