How to open UGP file?
The most common problem when using Aroma Unit Genome Position Data Format is that a specific UGP is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open UGP, 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 UGP 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 Aroma
In this case, you should first verify that the Aroma application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Aroma in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file UGP.
Programs to open UGP file
Remember to download programs supporting UGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Aroma with UGP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UGP file still does not use the Aroma 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Aroma application as the default for handling the UGP file.
Step 3. Update Aroma to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Aroma program, it is possible that Aroma Unit Genome Position Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Aroma Project website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UGP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The UGP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UGP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UGP file. Sometimes virus-infected UGP 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 UGP files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UGP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UGP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 UGP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UGP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UGP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
