Issues Opening GMS Files

libGMS Not Present

Double-clicking your GMS file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open GMS File". Usually, this is because you do not have libGMS for %%os%% installed. 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 have another software that you know opens GMS files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Incorrect libGMS Version

Sometimes your installed version of libGMS won't support your Gesture And Motion Signal File file. Installing the latest version of libGMS from Open Source is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your Gesture And Motion Signal File file was created by a different (newer) version of libGMS than what's installed.


Tip: Right-clicking on your GMS, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening GMS files are due to having the wrong version of libGMS installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading GMS Files
