How to open BASEX file?
An often recurring problem with BaseX Data Format is that BASEX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BASEX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BASEX 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 BaseX
In this case, you should first verify that the BaseX application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing BaseX into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file BASEX.
Programs to open BASEX file
Remember to download programs supporting BASEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BaseX with BASEX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BASEX file to open in the BaseX application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BASEX file with the BaseX application.
Step 3. Update BaseX to the latest version
If, however, after binding BaseX with BaseX Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the BaseX Team website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BASEX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BASEX 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 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 BASEX file. Sometimes virus-infected BASEX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BASEX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BASEX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use BaseX Team help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BASEX 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BASEX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BASEX file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
