The main program that supports this format is DAZ Studio . This was created by DAZ 3D Inc.. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the DS file.
How to open DS file?
The most common problem when using DAZ Studio 1/2 Script is that a specific DS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DS 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 DAZ Studio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DAZ Studio is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DAZ Studio into the system search engine. 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 DS files.
Programs to open DS file
Remember to download programs supporting DS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DAZ Studio with DS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DS file still does not use the DAZ Studio 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DS file with the DAZ Studio program.
Step 3. Update DAZ Studio to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DAZ Studio program with the DAZ Studio 1/2 Script file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the DAZ 3D Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 DS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected DS 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 DS 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 DS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DAZ Productions
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DS 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. If possible, you can try to move the DS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DS to close. However, some background programs may block the DS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
