How to open CVSIGNORE file?
The most common problem when using Eclipse CVS Settings is that a specific CVSIGNORE is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CVSIGNORE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CVSIGNORE 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 Eclipse
The first step is to check if the computer has the Eclipse program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Eclipse in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CVSIGNORE with Eclipse. Below is a list of programs that support the file CVSIGNORE.
Programs to open CVSIGNORE file
Remember to download programs supporting CVSIGNORE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Eclipse with CVSIGNORE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CVSIGNORE file still does not use the Eclipse program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CVSIGNORE file with the Eclipse application.
Step 3. Update Eclipse to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Eclipse program with the Eclipse CVS Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the The Eclipse Foundation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CVSIGNORE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the CVSIGNORE file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CVSIGNORE file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CVSIGNORE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CVSIGNORE files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 CVSIGNORE files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting If you know some more useful informations about this file extension, please send us a message, by clicking on submit extension button at the top of page., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CVSIGNORE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CVSIGNORE file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CVSIGNORE file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CVSIGNORE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CVSIGNORE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
