Error opening project

[steve]

All tags should be in pairs. A tag uses a keyword within chevrons and there should always be an "opening" tag and a "closing" tag. The closing tag has a forward slash immediately after the opening chevron. For example <waveclip> ..... </waveclip>

The opening tag may also contain parameters which are after the keyword, for example <waveclip offset="0.00000000"> (this is an opening "waveclip" tag with an additional parameter of "offset="0.00000000"". At some point later in the file there must be a closing tag for this which will be </waveclip>).

The word "project" appears several times in line 2, but not as tag keywords. The first 2 lines describe the type of document (<?xml version=.... and <!DOCTYPE....)
The first tag should be the opening project tag (as seen in line 3) and the final tag should be a closing project tag (as seen in the last line).

As far as I know there should only ever be one pair of "project" tags in the file.

If there is one and only one pair of "project" tags, then the error message is probably trying to tell you that it has reached the end of the document and has been unable to find a closing tag for an opening tag that occurs earlier in the document. Audacity would only notice that a closing tag is missing when it reaches the end of the document, so although the opening tag may be on any line, Audacity will show the error occuring at the last line because Audacity can not know that the closing tag is missing until it gets to the end of the document.

If you still have a problem it will save time if you simply attach the whole .aup file using the "Upload Attachment" tab underneath the Preview/Post Message buttons. I've just enabled attaching .aup files, and though it gives an error message for some reason, you can ignore this as it seems to work.
