How to open BMPR file?
An often recurring problem with Balsamiq Mockups Document Format is that BMPR is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BMPR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BMPR 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 Balsamiq Mockups
The first step is to check if the computer has the Balsamiq Mockups program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Balsamiq Mockups in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BMPR files.
Programs to open BMPR file
Remember to download programs supporting BMPR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Balsamiq Mockups with BMPR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BMPR file to open in the Balsamiq Mockups application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Balsamiq Mockups application as the default for handling the BMPR file.
Step 3. Update Balsamiq Mockups to the latest version
If, however, after binding Balsamiq Mockups with Balsamiq Mockups Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Balsamiq Studios, LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BMPR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the BMPR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BMPR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BMPR 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 BMPR files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BMPR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BMPR 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 BMPR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BMPR file again. However, some background programs may block the BMPR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
