How to open DAILY file?

An often recurring problem with Day Log Format is that DAILY is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DAILY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DAILY 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sublime Text in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DAILY files.

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with DAILY files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DAILY file still does not use the Sublime Text program, it means no 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 select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sublime Text application as the default for handling the DAILY file.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Day Log Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 DAILY file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DAILY file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 DAILY or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DAILY 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 DAILY files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DAILY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DAILY 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 DAILY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DAILY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DAILY to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DAILY file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
