This is a program created by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd.
How to open YAWS file?
The most common problem when using Yaws Source is that a specific YAWS is not associated with the program. This causes the file YAWS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the YAWS 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. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text 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 YAWS files.
Programs to open YAWS file
Remember to download programs supporting YAWS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with YAWS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the YAWS file to open in the Sublime Text application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sublime Text application as the default for handling the YAWS file.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Yaws Source 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 YAWS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to YAWS 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our YAWS file. However, remember that not every infected YAWS 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 YAWS file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YAWS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YAWS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move YAWS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the YAWS 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
