What is OWS file?

How to open OWS file?

The most common problem when using Web Studio Project is that a specific OWS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that OWS 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 OWS 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 Web Studio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Web Studio is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Web Studio into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OWS with Web Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support OWS files.

Programs to open OWS file

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

Step 2. Create association of Web Studio with OWS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OWS file still does not use the Web Studio program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OWS file with the Web Studio application.

Step 3. Update Web Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Web Studio program with the Web Studio Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Beach Software, LLC website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OWS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the OWS file contents when downloading or copying. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OWS file. However, remember that not every infected OWS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OWS files changes over time. 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 OWS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Beach Software, LLC, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file OWS 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.
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 OWS 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
