Remember to download programs supporting BBPROJECT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of BBEdit with BBPROJECT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BBPROJECT file still does not use the BBEdit program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BBPROJECT file with the BBEdit application.

Step 3. Update BBEdit to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the BBEdit program, it is possible that BBEdit Project Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Bare Bones Software website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BBPROJECT file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BBPROJECT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BBPROJECT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BBPROJECT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BBPROJECT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BBPROJECT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BBPROJECT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bare Bones Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BBPROJECT except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BBPROJECT file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BBPROJECT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BBPROJECT file again. However, some background programs may block the BBPROJECT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
