I'm having a weird bug where a .dwar file no longer opens correctly. The format seems to be correct, but instead of opening as a data warrior file it seems to be opening it like a text file.

the file begins like this

<datawarrior-fileinfo>
<version="3.3">
<created="1596147018045">
<rowcount="68">
</datawarrior-fileinfo>
<column properties>

and ends like this

<structureGridColumn_Structure of SMILES="Structure of SMILES">
<structureGridColumns_Structure of SMILES="6">
</datawarrior properties>

but when I try to re-open it in DW, I get "> for the only column name, and a bunch of nonsense like

<columnProperty="formula

in the cells, like it is trying to read the .dwar file as a text file. This is on a Mac. Thanks

If a formula is created in version 5.2.1 and if the formula ends with a new-line character, which easily happens, then the new-line char is not removed when the formula is written into the column properties section of the dwar file.
This causes DataWarrior wrongly to take the "> as header line. If you open your dwar file in a text editor,
put the cursor at the beginning of the "> line, press once the 'delete backwards' button and save, your file
should work again.
The current development version encodes new-lines in formulas, such that is does not happen anymore.
