Sources of JS Problems
Frequent JS Opening Issues
Missing Notepad++
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open JS Files" when trying to open your JS. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Notepad++ isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your JS with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.
Tip: When another JS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Notepad++ Requires Update
Sometimes your installed version of Notepad++ won't support your JavaScript File file. Download the latest Notepad++ version from the Don Ho website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your JavaScript File file was created by a different (newer) version of Notepad++ than what's installed.
Tip: Investigate your JS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Primarily, problems experienced when opening JS files are due to having the incorrect version of Notepad++ installed on your computer.
Other Causes of JS File Opening Problems
In the majority of cases, installing the right version of Notepad++ will resolve your issue. Other JS opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:
- Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for JS
- Mistaken removal of the Windows registry JS description
- Corrupt install of Notepad++ or other JS-related program
- Something has caused file corruption of your JS
- The JS is infected with a virus
- JS-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
- Too many applications are open on your PC to load your JavaScript File file successfully
Quiz: Which of these is considered a vector image file?
That's Correct!
The unique thing about vector files such as AI and EPS is that graphic details (eg. sizes and shapes of objects) and text remains editable. This allows you can save and re-open them in Illustrator and edit text or other elements within the graphic.
