corrupted XML project file

[marcoaaz]

Hello, I have been working with TrakEM2 for a while. Today, I have had this error when saving the TrakEM2 projects and opening them with notepad (for verification).

<!ELEMENT project (anything)>
<!ATTLIST project id NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST project unuid NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST project title NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST project preprocessor NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST project mipmaps_folder NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST project storage_folder NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT anything EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST anything id NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST anything expanded NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT t2_layer (t2_patch,t2_label,t2_layer_set,t2_profile)>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer oid NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer thickness NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer z NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ELEMENT t2_layer_set (t2_prop,t2_linked_prop,t2_annot,t2_layer,t2_pipe,t2_ball,t2_area_list,t2_calibration,t2_stack,t2_treeline)>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer_set oid NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer_set layer_id NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>

<!ATTLIST t2_layer_set links NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer_set composite NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>
<!ATTLIST t2_layer_set layer_width NMTOKEN #REQUIRED>

...
And so on.. reading it as text. The body of the project looks fine but the header is clearly corrupted. In the log window of Fiji I get this:

Fatal error: column=135 line=321

ERROR:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 321; columnNumber: 135; The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.

==================

I hope you can help me and that this is not a new update. Thanks!.
