Inkscape

Couldn't find end of Start Tag image.

Asked by Aidan

Basically I was drawing in Windows on Inkscape and it stopped responding. Since it was still not responding after about half an hour I decided to close the program.

However when I tried to open my .svg file after it said:
Error domain 1 code 73 on line 403182 column 40
Couldn't find the end of Start Tag image.

I stupidly didn't make a backup of my work and I had almost finished it.
Is there any way of fixing it?

What I would do is open the svg file with a text editor (vim, emacs, notepad++) or xml editor and go to this line (probably the last one) and close all unmatched tags (probably at least the </image>, the </g> of the layer and the </svg> ).

I know it's a lot of code xD
Most of the 400k was in the ending where it wasn't proper code, I didn't make any sense of it at least, no structure just random characters. I'm guessing it was Inkscape having a breakdown over what to do?
It just stopped dead at the end as well no end tags or anything which I'm assuming is when I closed the program...?
I might be wrong I'm not an expert xD and it's been a while since I've done programming myself

As for the code before that I didn't see any unmatched tags in what I looked through...
I think maybe redrawing is probably the easiest option if I'm honest :P
Thanks for the suggestion though!

Can you help with this problem?
