The .FPBF file extension is associated with Mac OS X. It stands for "Folder Proxy Burn Folder" and refers to a type of file on a Mac computer that contains aliases of other files. The file is created whenever a user attempt to create folders from a certain application. These folders contain the aliases so that the files can be quickly accessed and burned onto a disc. The file does not contain the actual data of the files so the user doesn't have to worry about duplicating any data.
How Files Are Saved
When attempting to create a burn folder, the two files with the .FPBF extension will be created. One will follow the name of the folder it holds and will store the burndown information. The second one will have a generic name such as “burner alias”, which stores the folder's contents. This second one contains aliases for all of the files inside the folder directory.
Compatibility with Other Formats
The .FPBF file extension is exclusive to Mac OS X, meaning that files in this format cannot be used in Windows or other operating systems. But some similar formats, such as BDFX, CDROM, and .BOOK, can carry cross-platform compatibility.
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FPBF) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FPBF extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FPBF file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FPBF extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FPBF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FPBF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FPBF file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FPBF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FPBF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FPBF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
