Manually fixing the Tiger-specific Apple Core Data bug

Please note: This article has been contributed by a user.

I successfully resolved the 'Your Things library could not be opened' error that appeared after I upgraded from 0.8.2 to 0.8.4 (on 10.4 [Tiger]) by opening my Things Library (~/Library/Application Support/Cultured Code/Database.xml) and deleting all lines with hash marks in them (from "<attribute" to "</attribute>"). If you look carefully you will notice that these lines do not conform to proper XML syntax.

I make no claims that this method will solve all instances of this error.
