How to open BTW file?
An often recurring problem with BarTender Label is that BTW is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BTW 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 BTW 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 BarTender
The first step is to check if the computer has the BarTender program installed. To do this, enter the name BarTender into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file BTW with BarTender. Below you will find a list of applications that support BTW files.
Programs to open BTW file
Remember to download programs supporting BTW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BarTender with BTW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BTW file still does not use the BarTender program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BTW file with the BarTender program.
Step 3. Update BarTender to the latest version
If, however, after binding BarTender with BarTender Label 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 Seagull Scientific, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTW file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The BTW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BTW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BTW file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected BTW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BTW file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BTW file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Seagull Scientific, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BTW 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BTW file to another location.
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 BTW file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
