The WORK file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the WORK files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the WORK file on each system platform.
What is WORK file?
The file in the WORK format belongs to the Settings Files category. It was designed by Bibble Labs. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. Bibble Work Queue Format is supported by 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use AfterShot Pro to handle this file. This is a program created by Corel Corporation. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. You can use Bibble in case AfterShot Pro cannot be used.
How to open WORK file?
The main problem with Bibble Work Queue Format is that the WORK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that WORK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WORK 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 AfterShot Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the AfterShot Pro program installed. This can be achieved by typing AfterShot Pro 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 WORK with AfterShot Pro. Below is a list of programs that support the file WORK.
Programs to open WORK file
Remember to download programs supporting WORK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AfterShot Pro with WORK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the WORK file still does not use the AfterShot Pro program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 WORK file with the AfterShot Pro program.
Step 3. Update AfterShot Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AfterShot Pro program, it is possible that Bibble Work Queue Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WORK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The WORK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to WORK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WORK file. Sometimes virus-infected WORK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of WORK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 WORK file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bibble Labs, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WORK 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 WORK file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the WORK 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 WORK file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
