How to open TMPL file?
The most common problem when using SWISH-E Example Format is that a specific TMPL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open TMPL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TMPL 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 Swish-E
The first step is to check if the computer has the Swish-E program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Swish-E in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TMPL.
Programs to open TMPL file
Remember to download programs supporting TMPL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Swish-E with TMPL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TMPL file still does not use the Swish-E program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TMPL file with the Swish-E program.
Step 3. Update Swish-E to the latest version
If, however, after binding Swish-E with SWISH-E Example Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The Swish-e Project website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TMPL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TMPL 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TMPL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TMPL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TMPL file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TMPL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Swish-e Project help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TMPL 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 TMPL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TMPL file again. However, some background programs may block the TMPL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
