According to the documentation the OSD files are zip archives which point with identical archive name ,without extension, name to internal. So if file name get changed using a file explorer for instance it point into nirvana.

First do not rename the file using a file explorer, just use "save as.." as provided by the DataExplorer.

If you do not know the internal name anymore, its possible to just rename the osd extension to zip and unpack the compressed file. The resulting osd-file can be used as usual.

Hi,

started today using DataExplorer on a Mac.
Did some capacity evaluations on a bunch of new LIPO rechargeable batteries, using an MC3000.

Everything worked just fine. Very smooth operation, no problems. So far, really nice piece of software

Did save my data files and also could open them again with no fail.

However, after recording a follow up "prepare for storage" session and saving those data files too, I tried to reopen all of my files, saved today.

I am sorry to say, that of 9 data files, only 3 can now be opened.

The error I get is something like:
 "UTFDataFormatException - malformed input around byte 10" on 6 of my 9 .osd files.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Regards,

- Gerhard Heidkamp
