What is JLC file?

The file in the JLC format belongs to the Developer Files category. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Byte Compiled Lisp-based Script is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux.

How to open JLC file?

An often recurring problem with Byte Compiled Lisp-based Script is that JLC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file JLC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JLC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Sawfish

The first step is to check if the computer has the Sawfish program installed. To do this, enter the name Sawfish into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JLC files.

Programs to open JLC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sawfish with JLC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JLC file to open in the Sawfish application, but you can set it manually. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JLC file with the Sawfish program.

Step 3. Update Sawfish to the latest version

If, however, after binding Sawfish with Byte Compiled Lisp-based Script there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the JLC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JLC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JLC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of JLC 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JLC files.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JLC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move JLC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JLC file again. However, some background programs may block the JLC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
