The attached file has the wrong file extension. If I rename it to XML and open it from inside ProjectLibre it opens just fine.
This report is very useful, because it highlights the very common problem of wrong file extensions.
So the bug is that the program is not doing a check of the proper file format on opening.
I tested 1.7.0, which just does nothing if I open a file where the extension is mismatching (or not a ProjectLibre file at all). (Using Windows 8.1, 64 bit, latest Java)
Expected behaviour: inform the user about the problem and offer to rename the file to the proper extension if the fileformat fits any ProjectLibre format.

Fixed in 1.8. The mpp files were saved as xml even if .pod was selected. I've also added a fix to read .pod files that are actually xml instead of pod format
