How to open DGS file?

The most common problem when using Dagesh Pro Document is that a specific DGS is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DGS, 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 DGS 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 Dagesh Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Dagesh Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dagesh Pro into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DGS with Dagesh Pro. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DGS files.

Programs to open DGS file

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

Step 2. Create association of Dagesh Pro with DGS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DGS file still does not use the Dagesh Pro program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DGS file with the Dagesh Pro program.

Step 3. Update Dagesh Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding Dagesh Pro with Dagesh Pro Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the TES, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DGS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DGS file. Sometimes virus-infected DGS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DGS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DGS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting TES, 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 DGS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DGS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DGS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DGS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
