Error 17718 when opening a file

I have created a psd file with GIMP (version 2.6.11) which I have created myself, opened and saved several times.

Today I try to continue my work on this file and I got error 17718 when trying to open the file. I have never opened this file with another application than GIMP.

Several questions: - What went wrong?
- How can I prevent it from happening again? - Most importantly: How can I repair the file, so that my work is not lost?

Thanks in advance.

You were working with a format that's not fully supported in GIMP.

- How can I prevent it from happening again?

Always save to .xcf, and only export to other formats if you need to open the file in another program.

Thanks for the answers on the first 2 questions. I hereby promise that I will never use this format with GIMP again. :)

Any clues on how I can repair the corrupted file? (Note: Upgrade to version 2.8.2 did not solve the issue)

Did you try with the regular can opener for PSD files?

Yes, will it open in PS.

Maybe a long shot with imagemagick Is there a result with identify -verbose .psd If there is one and it reports layers try devolving into separate layers and rebuilding in Gimp. convert

This BB does not like my syntax, might be ok on the mailing list.

Is there a result with identify -verbose 'your_filename'.psd If there is one and it reports layers try devolving into separate layers and rebuilding in Gimp. convert 'your_filename'.psd[1] 1.png for the base layer convert 'your_filename'.psd[2] 2.png ..etc
