How to open FFP file?

The main problem with FLAC Fingerprint Data Format is that the FFP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FFP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FFP 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 Sublime Text

In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FFP with Sublime Text. Below you will find a list of applications that support FFP files.

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with FFP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FFP file to open in the Sublime Text 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FFP file with the Sublime Text application.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

If, however, after binding Sublime Text with FLAC Fingerprint Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FFP 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 FFP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FFP file. Sometimes virus-infected FFP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FFP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FFP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FFP 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 FFP 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FFP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
