How to open AOF file?
The most common problem when using Artlantis Object Format is that a specific AOF is not associated with the program. This causes the file AOF 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 AOF 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 Artlantis Studio
In this case, you should first verify that the Artlantis Studio application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Artlantis Studio in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AOF files.
Programs to open AOF file
Remember to download programs supporting AOF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Artlantis Studio with AOF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AOF file to open in the Artlantis Studio application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Artlantis Studio application as the default for handling the AOF file.
Step 3. Update Artlantis Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Artlantis Studio with Artlantis Object Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AOF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The AOF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AOF file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AOF file. Sometimes virus-infected AOF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AOF file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AOF file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AOF 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AOF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AOF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AOF to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
