What is REJ file?

The file with the extension REJ is the Developer Files file type. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Mercurial Reject appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Sublime Text. This was created by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd.

How to open REJ file?

The main problem with Mercurial Reject is that the REJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open REJ, 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 REJ 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 Sublime Text

The first step is to check if the computer has the Sublime Text program installed. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text 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 is a list of programs that support the file REJ.

Programs to open REJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with REJ files

If, despite the installed application, the REJ file does not start in the Sublime Text application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 REJ file with the Sublime Text program.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sublime Text program, it is possible that Mercurial Reject requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the REJ 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the REJ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the REJ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover REJ 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 REJ 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular REJ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted REJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move REJ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file REJ to close. However, some background programs may block the REJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
