This URL allows you to open AI2 to the Project List, without opening any project.
http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/?autoload=false
From that list, you can request Exports of Projects without trying to open them.
Upload the troublesome .aia here.

I imported it into the code server, went for a bathroom break, and it still hadn't opened.
The project is probably bariatric.
Next step is to upload the aia file to the unchive summarizer, or explore the aia as a zip file.

That _DO_NOT_DELETE_ConvertedFrom... Screen name looks like trouble.

Project Properties in the aia (7zip) looks okay.
Will have to check out that lastopened=bdt screen for clogs.

This kumaraswamy.convertor sounds like trouble.
Is it new?
What does it do?

We haven't seen AI1 to Ai2 conversion in a while.

So here's the screen scm file for bdt:
Why does the bdt screen say its screen name property is Screen1?
I'm seeing leftover tools under the scars on this project.
Who operated on this project?

Given the nasty thing in screen bdt, let's see if I can bypass the Project Properties Last Screen Opened "convenience".

So I editted the properties file in 7zip, replacing the Last Opened Screen with Screen1.
Deleted the old Project, and uploaded the new aia.
Screen1 opened okay.
Then I switched to the bdt screen, and ...
The bdt screen thinks it is Screen1 too.
Time to strap the aia file to the table and cut it open.

On the way out, I went to delete the corrupted project on code2, but my previous delete forever had not yet run.
Might need a browser refresh to see it, or do I need to call a plumber?

It is the 4/5 year old original extension for image conversion by @Kumaraswamy .
The latest version (remixed and updated by me) is 3.9
[Image]
com.kumaraswamy.convertor.aix (6.9 KB)
Just enter the image you want to convert with the new image path.
The image will be accordingly encoded to the mime/file type (JPG, PNG, WEBP) of the output path
See post 14 for extension update
See post 15 for second update to extension, which includes a resize function
Now updated to version 3.2 - image: conversion, rotate, resize, setOpacity, crop, dimensions (width,height,size),thumbnail.
Now updated to version 3.3, handle…

In Notepad++ under 7zip, found the first error:

Imported the patched aia, and stopped by that DO NOT DELETE screen:
It thinks it's Screen1 too!
Time to use the 7zip file deletion feature.
We don't need this.
If in doubt
Rip It Out

All gone.
Now let's close up the patient and wake him up.

For good measure, I switched among the rest of the 14 screens, verifying that none of them thought they were Screen1.
So here's the new aia, with a clean bill of health:
bdt_20_android_16_beta.aia (896.1 KB)
But we're not finished here.
After a hospital screwup, the doctors meet to discuss how that could have been avoided.
So we have questions for you:
I suspect I have some cleaning up to do in the FAQs.

First thanks you so much for taking the time. Like I said I built that project for my little
company a few years back. It worked very well and last year, I updated on of my cell phone and came back to MIT App to update de project. Then everything worked great still. Last week or the week before, I went back and in the BDT page changed the signature button for TAUX X1.5 'means overtime'. saved it and I was done. then came back to modify something and couldn't open the project. So I really don't know if it's something I did or what exactly happened.

Thanks for the response.
We'll have to watch for similar problems in the future.
