The E file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the E files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the E file on each system platform.
What is E file?
The file in the E format belongs to the Developer Files category. The author of this format is Eiffel Software. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. EiffelStudio Source appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The EiffelStudio application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Eiffel Software.
How to open E file?
The most common problem when using EiffelStudio Source is that a specific E is not associated with the program. This causes the file E 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 E 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 EiffelStudio
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that EiffelStudio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing EiffelStudio into the operating 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 E files.
Programs to open E file
Remember to download programs supporting E files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EiffelStudio with E files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the E file to open in the EiffelStudio application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EiffelStudio application as the default for handling the E file.
Step 3. Update EiffelStudio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the EiffelStudio program, it is possible that EiffelStudio Source requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Eiffel Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the E 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the E file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file E or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected E file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the E file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged E files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Eiffel Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted E 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the E file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
