How to open LBI file?

The main problem with Dreamweaver Library Item is that the LBI file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LBI 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 LBI 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. To do this, enter the name Adobe Dreamweaver 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 LBI with Adobe Dreamweaver. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open LBI files.

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Dreamweaver with LBI files

If, despite the installed application, the LBI file does not start in the Adobe Dreamweaver application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 LBI file with the Adobe Dreamweaver application.

Step 3. Update Adobe Dreamweaver to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Dreamweaver program with the Dreamweaver Library Item file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Adobe Systems Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LBI 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LBI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LBI or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LBI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LBI 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LBI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Adobe Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LBI 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LBI to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 LBI 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.
