How to open PRO4PL file?
The most common problem when using ProPresenter Playlist Format is that a specific PRO4PL is not associated with the program. This causes the file PRO4PL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PRO4PL 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 ProPresenter
In this case, you should first verify that the ProPresenter application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing ProPresenter into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PRO4PL files.
Programs to open PRO4PL file
Remember to download programs supporting PRO4PL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ProPresenter with PRO4PL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PRO4PL file still does not use the ProPresenter program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 ProPresenter application as the default for handling the PRO4PL file.
Step 3. Update ProPresenter to the latest version
If, however, after binding ProPresenter with ProPresenter Playlist Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Renewed Vision, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRO4PL 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 PRO4PL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PRO4PL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PRO4PL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PRO4PL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PRO4PL 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PRO4PL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Renewed Vision, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PRO4PL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PRO4PL 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PRO4PL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PRO4PL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
