How to open ULYS file?
The main problem with Ulysses Project is that the ULYS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ULYS 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 ULYS 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 Ulysses
The first step is to check if the computer has the Ulysses program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Ulysses in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ULYS with Ulysses. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ULYS files.
Programs to open ULYS file
Remember to download programs supporting ULYS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ulysses with ULYS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ULYS file to open in the Ulysses application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Ulysses application as the default for handling the ULYS file.
Step 3. Update Ulysses to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Ulysses program with the Ulysses Project 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 The Soulmen page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ULYS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ULYS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ULYS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ULYS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ULYS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 ability to automatically repair ULYS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Soulmen help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ULYS 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ULYS 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
