Troubles Opening NLS Files
MacroMates TextMate Isn't There
Double-clicking your NLS file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open NLS File". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have MacroMates TextMate for %%os%% installed on your computer. The typical path of opening your NLS with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your NLS, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").
MacroMates TextMate Requires Update
It is possible that your version of MacroMates TextMate isn't able to open your NetLogo Source Code File file due to incompatibility. If you do not have the proper version MacroMates TextMate (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. Most of the time your NetLogo Source Code File file was created by a newer MacroMates TextMate than what you have installed.
Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the NLS file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.
Regardless, most of the NLS file opening problems relate to not having the right version of MacroMates TextMate installed.
Additional NLS Opening Issues
Even with the correct version of MacroMates TextMate installed, you can still experience difficulties opening NLSs. Other NLS opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:
- Invalid NLS file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
- The NLS file description within the Windows Registry was removed
- Defective install of a NLS program, such as MacroMates TextMate
- Your NLS can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
- Malware-tainted NLS file can't be opened
- Hardware associated with NLS has outdated drivers
- Insufficient system resources to successfully open NetLogo Source Code File files
