Troubleshooting Problems Opening TEXTILE Files

Common Problems Opening TEXTILE Files

RedCloth is Not Installed

When you double-click your TEXTILE file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have RedCloth for %%os%% installed on your computer. Because your operating system doesn't know what to do with this file, you won't be able to open it by double-clicking.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your TEXTILE file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.

Wrong Version of RedCloth is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Eclipse (The Eclipse Foundation) file that is unsupported by your installed application version. If you do not have the proper version RedCloth (or any of the other programs listed above), you may need to try downloading a different version of it, or one of the other software applications listed above. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.

Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of TEXTILE file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).

Summary: In either case, the majority of problems opening TEXTILE files are related to not having the correct software application installed on your computer.

Other Causes of TEXTILE File Opening Problems

Although you might already have RedCloth or another TEXTILE-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Eclipse (The Eclipse Foundation) files.

These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• Invalid TEXTILE file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
• Accidental deletion of the description of the TEXTILE file in the Windows registry
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the TEXTILE format
• Your TEXTILE file is corrupted (issues with your Eclipse (The Eclipse Foundation) file itself)
• Your TEXTILE is infected with malware
• Device drivers of the hardware associated with your TEXTILE file are corrupt or out-of-date
• Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Eclipse (The Eclipse Foundation) format
