How to open RWP file?

An often recurring problem with RapidWeaver Package is that RWP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RWP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RWP 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 RapidWeaver

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RapidWeaver is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing RapidWeaver into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RWP with RapidWeaver. Below is a list of programs that support the file RWP.

Programs to open RWP file

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

Step 2. Create association of RapidWeaver with RWP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RWP file to open in the RapidWeaver application, but you can set it manually. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the RapidWeaver application as the default for handling the RWP file.

Step 3. Update RapidWeaver to the latest version

If, despite the association of the RapidWeaver program with the RapidWeaver Package file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Realmac Software Limited page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The RWP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RWP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RWP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RWP 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 RWP files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RWP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Realmac Software help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RWP 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 RWP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RWP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RWP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RWP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
