How to open HSS file?
The most common problem when using Adobe Dreamweaver Snippet is that a specific HSS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HSS 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 HSS 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 Adobe Dreamweaver
The first step is to check if the computer has the Adobe Dreamweaver program installed. This can be achieved by typing Adobe Dreamweaver into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HSS with Adobe Dreamweaver. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HSS files.
Programs to open HSS file
Remember to download programs supporting HSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Adobe Dreamweaver with HSS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HSS file still does not use the Adobe Dreamweaver program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Adobe Dreamweaver application as the default for handling the HSS file.
Step 3. Update Adobe Dreamweaver to the latest version
If, however, after binding Adobe Dreamweaver with Adobe Dreamweaver Snippet there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adobe Systems Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HSS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The HSS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the HSS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HSS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HSS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HSS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 HSS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Adobe Systems Incorporated help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HSS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move HSS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HSS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
