The DRP file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DRP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DRP file on each system platform.
What is DRP file?
The file with the extension DRP is the Text Files file type. Text Files consists of 440 similar files. Droplets Data Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is NotePad++ text editor. This was created by Notepad++ Team. Alternatively, you can use 12 other programs. Sublime Text, Microsoft Windows NotePad, Atom, Droplets User Interface Server will apply when it is not possible to use NotePad++ text editor.
How to open DRP file?
The main problem with Droplets Data Format is that the DRP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DRP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DRP 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 NotePad++ text editor
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NotePad++ text editor is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NotePad++ text editor into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DRP files.
Programs to open DRP file
Remember to download programs supporting DRP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with DRP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DRP file still does not use the NotePad++ text editor program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DRP file with the NotePad++ text editor program.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NotePad++ text editor program, it is possible that Droplets Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Notepad++ Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DRP 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. Usually this applies to DRP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DRP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DRP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DRP files changes over time. 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 DRP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DRP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DRP to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DRP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
