How to open PRETTY file?
The main problem with SAM Prettyalign Output is that the PRETTY file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PRETTY, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PRETTY 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 Sequence Alignment and Modeling system
In this case, you should first verify that the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sequence Alignment and Modeling system into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PRETTY files.
Programs to open PRETTY file
Remember to download programs supporting PRETTY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sequence Alignment and Modeling system with PRETTY files
If, despite the installed application, the PRETTY file does not start in the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PRETTY file with the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program.
Step 3. Update Sequence Alignment and Modeling system to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sequence Alignment and Modeling system program, it is possible that SAM Prettyalign Output requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRETTY file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PRETTY file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PRETTY file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PRETTY files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PRETTY file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PRETTY files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Richard Hughey - Kevin Karplus - Anders Krogh, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PRETTY 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PRETTY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PRETTY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PRETTY file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PRETTY file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
