What is KSP file?
The file in the KSP format belongs to the Spreadsheet Files category. It was designed by KDE e.V. In addition to this file, the Spreadsheet Files category includes 100 related files. Calligra Sheets Spreadsheet is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Calligra Suite application is recommended to open the file. It was released by KDE e.V.
How to open KSP file?
The main problem with Calligra Sheets Spreadsheet is that the KSP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open KSP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KSP 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 Calligra Suite
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Calligra Suite is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Calligra Suite 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 KSP with Calligra Suite. Below is a list of programs that support the file KSP.
Programs to open KSP file
Remember to download programs supporting KSP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Calligra Suite with KSP files
If, despite the installed application, the KSP file does not start in the Calligra Suite application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Calligra Suite application as the default for handling the KSP file.
Step 3. Update Calligra Suite to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Calligra Suite program with the Calligra Sheets Spreadsheet file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the KDE e.V website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KSP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to KSP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the KSP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected KSP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KSP file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KSP files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact KDE e.V
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file KSP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the KSP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the KSP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
