Programs to open BMML file

Step 2. Create association of Balsamiq Mockups with BMML files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BMML file to open in the Balsamiq Mockups application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BMML file with the Balsamiq Mockups program.
Step 3. Update Balsamiq Mockups to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Balsamiq Mockups program with the Balsamiq Mockups Graphic file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Balsamiq Studios, LLC website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMML file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BMML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BMML file. Sometimes virus-infected BMML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BMML 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BMML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Balsamiq Studios, LLC help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BMML 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BMML to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BMML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
