How to open OSL file?
An often recurring problem with OckamSoft Log is that OSL is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file OSL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OSL 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 OckamSoft
The first step is to check if the computer has the OckamSoft program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OckamSoft in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OSL with OckamSoft. Below is a list of programs that support the file OSL.
Programs to open OSL file
Remember to download programs supporting OSL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OckamSoft with OSL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OSL file to open in the OckamSoft application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the OckamSoft application as the default for handling the OSL file.
Step 3. Update OckamSoft to the latest version
If, despite the association of the OckamSoft program with the OckamSoft Log file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Ockam Instruments, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OSL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to OSL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OSL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OSL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OSL file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OSL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Ockam Instruments, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OSL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 OSL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OSL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
