unable to open container after forcefully closing it #33

Hi, I have a problem when trying to open a container created within a container with Doxbox after forcefully closing it. Now it just gives me an error message and doesn't open. I use Librecrypt 6.2 on Windows 64x. Could someone please tell me if there is any way to recover the files within? I am a newbie so I am not good at this. Thank you

In the end I managed to recover most of the files from another archive so it is only a minor problem now

Force closing a container can leave the filesystem corrupt. If possible close containers normally. Using hidden containers will also give errors if the offset is not identical, or if the outer container is written to after creating the hidden container.
