Error opening SDL: Premature end of file

jlowens · 03-27-2006, 09:47 AM

When I try to open my document list, I get the following error:

Error opening SDL: Premature end of file.

The complete error message is below.

I got this error about a week ago, and I can create a new list from scratch. Obviously, I'd rather not have to keep doing that if there is a simpler solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jacob

Nevermind.

I found a solution. In the directory where I keep my .sdl, I noticed a new doc named Sunrise Document List.sdl.bak. So I trashed the original .sdl (which was showing a size of 0) and removed the .bak extension.

At this point, Sunrise would open the .sdl and correctly displayed all my feeds, with their proper settings, but would return all errors on an attempted update. However, I also noticed that Hotsync had disappeared from the tray. So I restarted and viola, all is now well.
