What is WMK file?
The file in the WMK format belongs to the Document Files category. The author of this format is SourceForge.net. Document Files consists of 574 similar files. WebMake Documentation Source appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is WebMake. This was created by SourceForge.net.
How to open WMK file?
The main problem with WebMake Documentation Source is that the WMK file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open WMK, 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 WMK 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 WebMake
The first step is to check if the computer has the WebMake program installed. To do this, enter the name WebMake into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WMK files.
Programs to open WMK file
Remember to download programs supporting WMK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WebMake with WMK files
If, despite the installed application, the WMK file does not start in the WebMake application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WMK file with the WebMake application.
Step 3. Update WebMake to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WebMake program, it is possible that WebMake Documentation Source requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SourceForge.net website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WMK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the WMK 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 WMK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected WMK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WMK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WMK files. You can restore the file from a backup or use SourceForge.net help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WMK 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move WMK 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. 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.
