How to open LSG file?
The most common problem when using LimeSurvey Group Structure XML Document Format is that a specific LSG is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LSG 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 LSG 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 Limesurvey
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Limesurvey is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Limesurvey 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 LSG with Limesurvey. Below you will find a list of applications that support LSG files.
Programs to open LSG file
Remember to download programs supporting LSG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Limesurvey with LSG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LSG file still does not use the Limesurvey 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LSG file with the Limesurvey program.
Step 3. Update Limesurvey to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Limesurvey program with the LimeSurvey Group Structure XML Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Limesurvey Project website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LSG file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The LSG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LSG file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LSG file. Sometimes virus-infected LSG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the LSG 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LSG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LSG 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. It is best to move LSG to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LSG to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
