AXL File Complications

Common Problems Opening AXL Files

MacroMates TextMate Disappeared

If you attempt to load your AXL file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open AXL Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because MacroMates TextMate isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your AXL because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.

Tip: If you have another software that you know opens AXL files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.

Obsolete Version of MacroMates TextMate

Sometimes your installed version of MacroMates TextMate won't support your XML File file. Installing the latest version of MacroMates TextMate from MacroMates is recommended. The primary cause of this problem is that your XML File file was created by a different (newer) version of MacroMates TextMate than what's installed.

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

Regardless, most of the AXL file opening problems relate to not having the right version of MacroMates TextMate installed.

Associated Difficulties Loading AXL Files

Even with the correct version of MacroMates TextMate installed, you can still experience difficulties opening AXLs. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening AXLs. Additional factors include:

• Windows Registry AXL file paths that are incorrect
• Mistaken removal of the Windows registry AXL description
• MacroMates TextMate or another AXL application experienced a flawed installation
• Your AXL file is corrupted (issues with your XML File file itself)
• Your AXL has adversely impacted by malware
• AXL-related hardware has device drivers that obsolete
• Windows has inadequate resources to open your XML File file
