How to open CLIPS file?

An often recurring problem with Coda Clips Format is that CLIPS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CLIPS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CLIPS 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 Coda

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Coda is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Coda in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CLIPS files.

Programs to open CLIPS file

Remember to download programs supporting CLIPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Coda with CLIPS files

If, despite the installed application, the CLIPS file does not start in the Coda application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Coda application as the default for handling the CLIPS file.

Step 3. Update Coda to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Coda program, it is possible that Coda Clips Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CLIPS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CLIPS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CLIPS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CLIPS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CLIPS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CLIPS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 CLIPS files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CLIPS files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CLIPS file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CLIPS to close. However, some background programs may block the CLIPS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
