How to open QMK file?
An often recurring problem with YanCEyDesktop Quickmarks Format is that QMK is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file QMK to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the QMK 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 YanCEyDesktop
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that YanCEyDesktop is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing YanCEyDesktop into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file QMK.
Programs to open QMK file
Remember to download programs supporting QMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of YanCEyDesktop with QMK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the QMK file to open in the YanCEyDesktop application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 QMK file with the YanCEyDesktop application.
Step 3. Update YanCEyDesktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the YanCEyDesktop program with the YanCEyDesktop Quickmarks Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the D Remington website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the QMK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The QMK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the QMK file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the QMK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover QMK 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 QMK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged QMK files. You can restore the file from a backup or use YanCEyWare help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted QMK 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.
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. It is best to move QMK to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the QMK file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the QMK file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
