Describe the bug
Files that were created last year using the downloaded and installed drawio program (not the one that pops up on chrome if you go to the website) are opening as blank files. I am using a Mac Mini M2 Pro on Tahoe 26.1 if that matters (that's what I was using when the files were created as well). Doesn't matter if I save the file from google drive to my desk top and then try to open from there. I have tried downloading from google drive as pdf, there's no option to export as anything to upload into drawio a different way.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to google drive, search "*.drawio" to pull up all files created in the app
  2. Click on the file
  3. Scroll down to "open with drawio"
  4. No error code, just pulls up a blank image in the app.

Expected behavior
I expect it to pull up the image I see on google drive's preview.

This is if I open it on the web-based drawio

This is what happens if I save the file to my desk top and attempt to open it in the app/program itself
