How to open BBTL file?

The most common problem when using BBEdit Tool Palette is that a specific BBTL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BBTL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BBTL 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 BBEdit

In this case, you should first verify that the BBEdit application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BBEdit into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BBTL.

Programs to open BBTL file

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

Step 2. Create association of BBEdit with BBTL files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BBTL 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the BBEdit application as the default for handling the BBTL file.

Step 3. Update BBEdit to the latest version

If, however, after binding BBEdit with BBEdit Tool Palette there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 BBTL 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the BBTL file contents when downloading or copying. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BBTL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BBTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BBTL 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 ability to automatically repair BBTL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bare Bones Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BBTL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BBTL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BBTL 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 BBTL file again. However, some background programs may block the BBTL file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
