How to open BKY file?
The most common problem when using Bookkey Bookmark/keyword Data is that a specific BKY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BKY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BKY 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 miTaggedMarks
In this case, you should first verify that the miTaggedMarks application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name miTaggedMarks in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support BKY files.
Programs to open BKY file
Remember to download programs supporting BKY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of miTaggedMarks with BKY files
If, despite the installed application, the BKY file does not start in the miTaggedMarks application, you must create a file association. 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. 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 miTaggedMarks application as the default for handling the BKY file.
Step 3. Update miTaggedMarks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the miTaggedMarks program, it is possible that Bookkey Bookmark/keyword Data requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Michael Valentiner-Branth website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BKY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The BKY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BKY file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BKY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BKY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BKY file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BKY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BKY files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BKY to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the BKY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BKY to close. However, some background programs may block the BKY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
