How to open BIBTEX file?
The most common problem when using BibTeX Document is that a specific BIBTEX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BIBTEX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BIBTEX 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 Sublime Text
In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text into the operating 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 BIBTEX.

Remember to download programs supporting BIBTEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with BIBTEX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIBTEX file still does not use the Sublime Text program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sublime Text application as the default for handling the BIBTEX file.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sublime Text program, it is possible that BibTeX Document requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIBTEX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BIBTEX file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BIBTEX file. However, remember that not every infected BIBTEX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BIBTEX files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BIBTEX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sublime HQ Pty Ltd
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BIBTEX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BIBTEX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
