What is LOCAL file?
The file in the LOCAL format belongs to the Misc Files category. The creator of this file is Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Delphi User-specific Project Options is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Delphi to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc..
How to open LOCAL file?
An often recurring problem with Delphi User-specific Project Options is that LOCAL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that LOCAL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LOCAL 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 Delphi
The first step is to check if the computer has the Delphi program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Delphi in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LOCAL.
Programs to open LOCAL file
Remember to download programs supporting LOCAL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Delphi with LOCAL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LOCAL file still does not use the Delphi program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LOCAL file with the Delphi application.
Step 3. Update Delphi to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Delphi program, it is possible that Delphi User-specific Project Options requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LOCAL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the LOCAL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LOCAL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LOCAL 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 LOCAL file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LOCAL files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LOCAL 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LOCAL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LOCAL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LOCAL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LOCAL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
