OpenLP Crashes when trying to save a file with no modified date.

As mentioned in the linked issue, its not really our fault, but perhaps we can put a check in?

This seems to happen very rarely (I didn't find any files with the same problem and wasn't even able to create one artificially) but it's not good when you can't save your work. The problem appears to be when compressing the service file.

If we can tell exactly what file caused the problem, then we could try to compress the service again without that file and tell the user to copy that file separately.

If the exception occurs specifically when trying to compress the service file but there is no indication of exactly why the compression fails, then perhaps we should save the uncompressed folder and tell the user to copy that (with apologies). Can OpenLP open a service that's not compressed into a single file?

Those methods would possibly be applicable to other unknown exceptions that occur when saving a service.
