SLS file extension
The SLS file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SLS files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SLS file on each system platform.
What is SLS file?
The SLS file has been categorized as Misc Files. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Image Playlist is most often found on 2 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Mac OS, Windows. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the SLS file. The NotePad++ text editor programs will also handle the file when the Text editor program does not fulfill its role.
How to open SLS file?
The main problem with Image Playlist is that the SLS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SLS, 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 SLS 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 Text editor
In this case, you should first verify that the Text editor application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Text editor in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SLS with Text editor. Below you will find a list of applications that support SLS files.
Programs to open SLS file
Remember to download programs supporting SLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Text editor with SLS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SLS file still does not use the Text editor program, it means no association. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SLS file with the Text editor application.
Step 3. Update Text editor to the latest version
If, however, after binding Text editor with Image Playlist there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SLS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SLS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SLS file. However, remember that not every infected SLS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SLS file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SLS files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SLS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SLS 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 SLS to close. However, some background programs may block the SLS file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
