What is GMS file?
The file with the extension GMS is the Data Files file type. The creator of this file is GMS. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. Gesture And Motion Signal Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the GMS file.
How to open GMS file?
The most common problem when using Gesture And Motion Signal Format is that a specific GMS is not associated with the program. This causes the file GMS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GMS 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 LibGMS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that LibGMS is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing LibGMS into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GMS files.
Programs to open GMS file
Remember to download programs supporting GMS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LibGMS with GMS files
If, despite the installed application, the GMS file does not start in the LibGMS application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GMS file with the LibGMS application.
Step 3. Update LibGMS to the latest version
If, however, after binding LibGMS with Gesture And Motion Signal Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GMS 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GMS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GMS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GMS 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 GMS 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GMS file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GMS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the GMS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GMS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GMS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GMS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
