How to open OPTS file?

An often recurring problem with Linux Configuration Options Format is that OPTS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open OPTS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OPTS 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 Vi

In this case, you should first verify that the Vi application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Vi in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OPTS files.

Programs to open OPTS file

Remember to download programs supporting OPTS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Vi with OPTS files

If, despite the installed application, the OPTS file does not start in the Vi application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 OPTS file with the Vi program.

Step 3. Update Vi to the latest version

If, however, after binding Vi with Linux Configuration Options Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OPTS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The OPTS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OPTS 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OPTS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OPTS 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 OPTS files changes over time.
