How to open XLOG file?

The most common problem when using Logging XML Database Log Format is that a specific XLOG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open XLOG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLOG 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XLOG files.

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with XLOG files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLOG file still does not use the Sublime Text 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 XLOG file with the Sublime Text application.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sublime Text program, it is possible that Logging XML Database Log Format requires a newer version of the program. 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 XLOG 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 XLOG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XLOG file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the XLOG file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected XLOG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XLOG file. 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 XLOG files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLOG files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the XLOG file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
