How to open CSML file?
An often recurring problem with Chemical Style Markup Language is that CSML is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CSML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CSML 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 Sublime Text
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sublime Text is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text 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 CSML with Sublime Text. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CSML files.
Programs to open CSML file
Remember to download programs supporting CSML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with CSML files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CSML file to open in the Sublime Text 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CSML file with the Sublime Text program.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sublime Text program, it is possible that Chemical Style Markup Language requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CSML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CSML file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 CSML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CSML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CSML 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CSML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CSML 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CSML file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
