How to open TEXTFACTORY file?
An often recurring problem with BBEdit Text Factory is that TEXTFACTORY is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file TEXTFACTORY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TEXTFACTORY 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 BBEdit
The first step is to check if the computer has the BBEdit program installed. To do this, enter the name BBEdit into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TEXTFACTORY with BBEdit. Below is a list of programs that support the file TEXTFACTORY.
Programs to open TEXTFACTORY file
Remember to download programs supporting TEXTFACTORY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BBEdit with TEXTFACTORY files
If, despite the installed application, the TEXTFACTORY file does not start in the BBEdit application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 TEXTFACTORY file with the BBEdit application.
Step 3. Update BBEdit to the latest version
If, despite the association of the BBEdit program with the BBEdit Text Factory 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 Bare Bones Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TEXTFACTORY file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The TEXTFACTORY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TEXTFACTORY 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TEXTFACTORY or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TEXTFACTORY files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TEXTFACTORY file. 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 TEXTFACTORY file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Bare Bones Software help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TEXTFACTORY 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.
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 TEXTFACTORY to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the TEXTFACTORY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TEXTFACTORY file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TEXTFACTORY file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
