How to open USI file?
The most common problem when using UsiXML UI Description is that a specific USI is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open USI, 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 USI 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 Sublime Text
The first step is to check if the computer has the Sublime Text program installed. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file USI with Sublime Text. Below is a list of programs that support the file USI.
Programs to open USI file
Remember to download programs supporting USI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with USI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the USI file to open in the Sublime Text 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the USI file with the Sublime Text program.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the UsiXML UI Description file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the USI file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the USI 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file USI or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected USI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of USI 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged USI files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted USI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the USI file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the USI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the USI file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
