How to open FMPLUGIN file?
The main problem with FileMaker Plug-in is that the FMPLUGIN file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FMPLUGIN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMPLUGIN 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 FileMaker Pro
In this case, you should first verify that the FileMaker Pro application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FileMaker Pro 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 FMPLUGIN files.
Programs to open FMPLUGIN file
Remember to download programs supporting FMPLUGIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FMPLUGIN files
If, despite the installed application, the FMPLUGIN file does not start in the FileMaker Pro application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FMPLUGIN file with the FileMaker Pro program.
Step 3. Update FileMaker Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FileMaker Pro program with the FileMaker Plug-in file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the FileMaker, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMPLUGIN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FMPLUGIN file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 FMPLUGIN file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FMPLUGIN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FMPLUGIN files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FMPLUGIN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact FileMaker
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FMPLUGIN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FMPLUGIN file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FMPLUGIN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
