how to open .dml files

[krysann]

can someone please help me to open these files. I have no idea what they are, but I do know that I had loaded heaps of pix and files when I first got this drive. People have said it was a synchronizer but I have the box to say that it was also a HD. But that aside, is there anyway of opening these .dml files. Thanks.

Supposedly they're DynaScript files, which is a programming language for server-side web page scripting, somewhat like PHP or ASP.

You should be able to open them with a text editor, e.g. Notepad. There won't be any pictures in them, though.

Thank you SS. I think I am resigned to the fact that I have lost all the files that I had on this drive. I'd been following commentaries on this particular piece of equipment since around 2008 hoping to see something that will restore hope, but unfortunately, nothing has restored any confidence. I had loaded hundreds of photos to this drive and I can remember being so happy with the results all those years ago. But when I tried to access them last year ... hello ... I couldn't see anything!! Yesterday, I took the drive to a local computer so-called expert. He told me there was nothing there! I could see the .dml files, but who knows what they are? Thank you for your help. Cheers!

This is what I get when I open one of files with Notepad.

Hmm. What software did you use? Did you just copy the file to the drive using the windows copy and paste tool, or did you put them in some kind of album manager?

What sizes are the files?

If you download irfanview (a very useful tool that can open images even if saved with the wrong extension), what do you get?
