The KBM file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the KBM files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the KBM file on each system platform.
What is KBM file?
The file with the extension KBM is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by Manuel Op de Coul. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. Scala Keyboard Mapping appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Scala. This was created by Manuel Op de Coul.
How to open KBM file?
An often recurring problem with Scala Keyboard Mapping is that KBM is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that KBM 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 KBM 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 Scala
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Scala is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Scala 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 KBM with Scala. Below is a list of programs that support the file KBM.
Programs to open KBM file
Remember to download programs supporting KBM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Scala with KBM files
If, despite the installed application, the KBM file does not start in the Scala application, you must create a file 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. 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 KBM file with the Scala application.
Step 3. Update Scala to the latest version
If, however, after binding Scala with Scala Keyboard Mapping 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 Manuel Op de Coul website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KBM 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 KBM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KBM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 KBM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected KBM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the KBM 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KBM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Manuel Op de Coul, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KBM 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the KBM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the KBM file again. However, some background programs may block the KBM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
