Troubleshooting Problems Opening WBC Files
Common WBC Opening Problems
fCoder Group Image Converter Plus Removed
When trying to open your WBC file, you get the error "Can't Open WBC File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have fCoder Group Image Converter Plus for %%os%% installed on your computer. The OS won't know what to do with your WBC file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.
Tip: When another WBC application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Outdated fCoder Group Image Converter Plus
In other instances, your Webshots Collection File file version may not be supported by your version of fCoder Group Image Converter Plus. Visit the fCoder website to download (or purchase) the latest version of fCoder Group Image Converter Plus. The primary cause of this problem is that your Webshots Collection File file was created by a different (newer) version of fCoder Group Image Converter Plus than what's installed.
Tip: If you right-click on your WBC file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.
Regardless, most of the WBC file opening problems relate to not having the right version of fCoder Group Image Converter Plus installed.
