CaptureSaver appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open CAPS file?
The most common problem when using CaptureSaver is that a specific CAPS is not associated with the program. This causes the file CAPS 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 CAPS 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 CaptureSaver
In this case, you should first verify that the CaptureSaver application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CaptureSaver into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CAPS with CaptureSaver. Below is a list of programs that support the file CAPS.
Programs to open CAPS file
Remember to download programs supporting CAPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CaptureSaver with CAPS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CAPS file still does not use the CaptureSaver 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 CAPS file with the CaptureSaver program.
Step 3. Update CaptureSaver to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CaptureSaver program with the CaptureSaver file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GoldGingko Software website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CAPS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CAPS 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CAPS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CAPS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CAPS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CAPS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting GoldGingko Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CAPS except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CAPS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CAPS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CAPS file again. However, some background programs may block the CAPS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
