F File Summary

The F File Extension has four different file types (mostly seen as the Fortran Source Code format) and can be opened with eight distinctive software programs, with the dominant related application developed by MacroMates (MacroMates TextMate software). Generally, these files are considered Developer Files, but they can also be Compressed Files or Data Files.

File Extension F is supported by Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. These types of files can be found on both desktop and mobile devices. The Popularity Rating for F files is "Low", which means these files are not ordinarily found on an everyday user's device.

If you would like to learn more about F files and the software that opens them, please see the additional detailed information below. Also, you can learn how to do some basic F file troubleshooting if you are having trouble opening these files.

F File Complications


Common F Opening Problems

MacroMates TextMate Disappeared

When trying to open your F file, you get the error "Can't Open F File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to MacroMates TextMate missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your F file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: Another F-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Outdated MacroMates TextMate

It is possible that your version of MacroMates TextMate isn't able to open your Fortran Source Code file due to incompatibility. You will need to download a newer version of MacroMates TextMate if you don't have the right version. Your Fortran Source Code file was probably created by a newer release of MacroMates TextMate than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: If you right-click on your F file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


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


Other F File Opening Causes

You can still experience errors opening F files even with the latest version of MacroMates TextMate installed on your PC. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening F files. These issues include:

  • Windows Registry F file paths that are incorrect
  • The F file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • MacroMates TextMate or another F application experienced a flawed installation
  • F file corruption
  • Your F is infected with malware
  • F-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Fortran Source Code format
