How to open FMXLIST file?

An often recurring problem with FME Transformer List Format is that FMXLIST is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FMXLIST files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FMXLIST 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 FME Desktop

In this case, you should first verify that the FME Desktop application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FME Desktop 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 FMXLIST files.

Programs to open FMXLIST file

Remember to download programs supporting FMXLIST files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of FME Desktop with FMXLIST files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FMXLIST file still does not use the FME Desktop program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FMXLIST file with the FME Desktop program.

Step 3. Update FME Desktop to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FME Desktop program, it is possible that FME Transformer List Format requires a newer version of the program.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 Safe Software Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMXLIST file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the FMXLIST file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FMXLIST file. However, remember that not every infected FMXLIST file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FMXLIST 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FMXLIST file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Safe Software Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMXLIST files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 FMXLIST file to another location.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FMXLIST file again. 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.
