How to open RDOC_OPTIONS file?

An often recurring problem with RDoc Option Data Format is that RDOC_OPTIONS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RDOC_OPTIONS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RDOC_OPTIONS 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 RubyDoc

The first step is to check if the computer has the RubyDoc program installed. This can be achieved by typing RubyDoc 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 RDOC_OPTIONS files.

Programs to open RDOC_OPTIONS file

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

Step 2. Create association of RubyDoc with RDOC_OPTIONS files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RDOC_OPTIONS file to open in the RubyDoc application, but you can set it manually. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 RDOC_OPTIONS file with the RubyDoc program.

Step 3. Update RubyDoc to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the RubyDoc program, it is possible that RDoc Option Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the James Britt website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDOC_OPTIONS file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The RDOC_OPTIONS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RDOC_OPTIONS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RDOC_OPTIONS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RDOC_OPTIONS 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 RDOC_OPTIONS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RDOC_OPTIONS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RDOC_OPTIONS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move RDOC_OPTIONS to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RDOC_OPTIONS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RDOC_OPTIONS file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
