Can't open corrupted figure

Hi!

I used GUIDE for creating a figure and I have been using the program some time now and it always worked fine.

Now suddenly I get the following error message when trying to open the figure in GUIDE or trying to run the program:

Error using load
Unable to read MAT-file C:\test1.fig.
File might be corrupt.

Error in matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile/read (line 36)
    hgDataVars = load(filename, '-mat', '-regexp', '^hg[M]');

Error in matlab.graphics.internal.figfile.FigFile (line 104)

Error in hgload (line 50)

Error in matlab.hg.internal.openfigLegacy (line 57)
    [fig, savedvisible] = hgload(filename, struct('Visible','off'));

Error in gui_mainfcn>local_openfig (line 286)
    gui_hFigure = matlab.hg.internal.openfigLegacy(name, singleton, visible);

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 158)
        gui_hFigure = local_openfig(gui_State.gui_Name, gui_SingletonOpt, gui_Visible);

Error in VFFinder (line 42)
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

All I changed today was adding a toolbar in GUIDE by "tools->toolbar editor". I can't even try if that caused the problem by undoing it because, as I mentioned above, I can't open the figure in GUIDE.

It would be very nice if anyone could help me.

Thank you!

I currently have the exact same issue. Have you find any solution ?

I am having the same problem with a GUI that I'm updating.

When you have a corrupted file, there was a problem during the update of the file. Then restore the former version of the FIG file from your backup. E.g. under Windows you have the File History.
