This was created by Jonathan Greig and Josh Varga.
How to open EYS file?
An often recurring problem with Sierra Expanded Embroidery Format is that EYS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EYS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EYS 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 Embroidermodder
The first step is to check if the computer has the Embroidermodder program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Embroidermodder in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EYS files.
Programs to open EYS file
Remember to download programs supporting EYS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Embroidermodder with EYS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EYS file still does not use the Embroidermodder program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EYS file with the Embroidermodder application.
Step 3. Update Embroidermodder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Embroidermodder program, it is possible that Sierra Expanded Embroidery Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Jonathan Greig and Josh Varga website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EYS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The EYS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EYS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file EYS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected EYS 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 EYS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EYS files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EYS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EYS file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EYS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EYS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
