How to open GLA file?
The main problem with Sothink SWF Easy Project Format is that the GLA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GLA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GLA 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 Sothink SWF Easy
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sothink SWF Easy is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sothink SWF Easy 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 GLA with Sothink SWF Easy.

Programs to open GLA file
Remember to download programs supporting GLA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sothink SWF Easy with GLA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GLA file to open in the Sothink SWF Easy 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sothink SWF Easy application as the default for handling the GLA file.
Step 3. Update Sothink SWF Easy to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sothink SWF Easy program, it is possible that Sothink SWF Easy Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SourceTec Software Co., LTD website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GLA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. 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 GLA file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GLA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GLA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of GLA 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GLA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SourceTec Software
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GLA 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GLA to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GLA file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
