Whilst saving a file I worked on the programme crashed and now won't re-open the file saying it is corrupt? Does anyone know how to rescue this situation - 20 hours work on file involved. Can attach file if necessary. Won't open in any other programme either.

Very rarely is a corrupt Gimp .xcf recoverable, especially from Gimp 2.8 and WindowsXP.
Take precautions and save your work frequently with incremental names. Pays off in the long run.
