How to open FF6 file?
The main problem with RISC OS Encapsulated PostScript is that the FF6 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FF6, 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 FF6 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 Ovation Pro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ovation Pro is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ovation Pro in it. 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 FF6 files.
Programs to open FF6 file
Remember to download programs supporting FF6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ovation Pro with FF6 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FF6 file to open in the Ovation Pro application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FF6 file with the Ovation Pro program.
Step 3. Update Ovation Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ovation Pro program, it is possible that RISC OS Encapsulated PostScript requires a newer version of the program.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 David Pilling page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FF6 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FF6 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FF6 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FF6 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FF6 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FF6 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact RISCOS Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FF6 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 FF6 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FF6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FF6 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FF6 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
