The LSS file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the LSS files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the LSS file on each system platform.
What is LSS file?
The file in the LSS format belongs to the Developer Files category. It was designed by IBM. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. LotusScript Source Code is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Lotus Domino Designer application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IBM. This file type can also be opened by 1 other programs. You can use Lotus Notes in case Lotus Domino Designer cannot be used.
How to open LSS file?
An often recurring problem with LotusScript Source Code is that LSS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open LSS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LSS 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 Lotus Domino Designer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Lotus Domino Designer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Lotus Domino Designer in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LSS with Lotus Domino Designer. Below is a list of programs that support the file LSS.
Programs to open LSS file
Remember to download programs supporting LSS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lotus Domino Designer with LSS files
If, despite the installed application, the LSS file does not start in the Lotus Domino Designer application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LSS file with the Lotus Domino Designer program.
Step 3. Update Lotus Domino Designer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Lotus Domino Designer program, it is possible that LotusScript Source Code requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LSS 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:
The LSS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LSS file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LSS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LSS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LSS files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 LSS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LSS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 LSS file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LSS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
