How to open FPSL file?
The main problem with FileMaker Pro Snapshot Link is that the FPSL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FPSL 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 FPSL 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FPSL with FileMaker Pro. Below you will find a list of applications that support FPSL files.
Programs to open FPSL file
Remember to download programs supporting FPSL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FileMaker Pro with FPSL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FPSL file to open in the FileMaker Pro 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. 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 FPSL 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 Pro Snapshot Link 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 FPSL 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FPSL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FPSL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FPSL 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 FPSL files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FPSL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting FileMaker, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FPSL 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FPSL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
