How to open RPP file?
An often recurring problem with REAPER Project Format is that RPP is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RPP, 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 RPP 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 REAPER
The first step is to check if the computer has the REAPER program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name REAPER in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RPP with REAPER. Below you will find a list of applications that support RPP files.
Programs to open RPP file
Remember to download programs supporting RPP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of REAPER with RPP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RPP file still does not use the REAPER program, it means no 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RPP file with the REAPER application.
Step 3. Update REAPER to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the REAPER program, it is possible that REAPER Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cockos Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RPP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RPP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RPP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RPP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RPP 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RPP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cockos help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RPP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the RPP file to another location.
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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RPP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
