How to open R*CH file?
An often recurring problem with BBEdit is that R*CH is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that R*CH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R*CH 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 BBEdit
The first step is to check if the computer has the BBEdit program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name BBEdit in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file R*CH with BBEdit. Below is a list of programs that support the file R*CH.
Programs to open R*CH file
Remember to download programs supporting R*CH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BBEdit with R*CH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the R*CH file to open in the BBEdit 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. 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 R*CH file with the BBEdit program.
Step 3. Update BBEdit to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BBEdit program with the BBEdit file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Bare Bones Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R*CH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the R*CH file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 R*CH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover R*CH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the R*CH files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R*CH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bare Bones Software
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R*CH 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move R*CH to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the R*CH file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
