How to open STORYMILL file?
An often recurring problem with StoryMill Project Format is that STORYMILL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that STORYMILL 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 STORYMILL 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 StoryMill
In this case, you should first verify that the StoryMill application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name StoryMill into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open STORYMILL files.
Programs to open STORYMILL file
Remember to download programs supporting STORYMILL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of StoryMill with STORYMILL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STORYMILL file to open in the StoryMill 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the StoryMill application as the default for handling the STORYMILL file.
Step 3. Update StoryMill to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the StoryMill program, it is possible that StoryMill Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mariner Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STORYMILL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the STORYMILL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the STORYMILL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected STORYMILL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the STORYMILL files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STORYMILL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mariner Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STORYMILL 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. Copying the STORYMILL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the STORYMILL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
