Programs to open OPLX file
Remember to download programs supporting OPLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Omniplan with OPLX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OPLX file to open in the Omniplan application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Omniplan application as the default for handling the OPLX file.
Step 3. Update Omniplan to the latest version
If, however, after binding Omniplan with Omniplan Project Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the The Omni Group website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OPLX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OPLX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OPLX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OPLX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OPLX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OPLX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OPLX 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the OPLX file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OPLX file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
