Hi all,
I’ve read through many similar posts here but nothing seems to be working.
A long project was recorded, and while saving at the end the computer restarted. I was left with e00>d01,d02,d03 etc, each with hundreds of .au files, but no .aup file.
After being able to recover the .aup file and putting it in the same folder as the data file, I tried to open it but get “Error opening project” "Couldn’t find the project data folder:___"
Both the project.aup and project_data folders both within the same folder (nothing else in there). I also opened the project.aup file in a text editor and updated the projectname attribute to be identical to that of the .aup file. So now what I have in the same folder is:
/project.aup (the file), and
/project_data (the folder containing the above mentioned folders and files)
Here is that project code block
<project xmlns="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/xml/" projname="project_data" version="1.3.0" audacityversion="2.2.2" sel0="6986.2806349206" sel1="6986.2806349206" vpos="0" h="6979.7558276644" zoom="86.1328125000" rate="44100.0" snapto="off" selectionformat="hh:mm:ss + milliseconds" frequencyformat="Hz" bandwidthformat="octaves">
That said, this appears to have been recorded in 2.2.2 (according to this block) and I’m working on Audacity 3.1.3, if this means anything.
I’m also running MacOS 10.15.7.
I also tried to download 2.2.2 to see if opening it in that would help, but it continually crashed and I downloaded 2.4.2, also with no luck opening it. I get the same error messages but a different log.
Here are the error codes from the 3.1.3 log along with the support data generated:

I hope this isn’t information overload, but I tried to provide more rather than less.
I also changed exact path names to just /path/ in the logs to not divulge personal info here.
What might my recourse here be?
Thanks a lot!
