How to open SMT file?
The most common problem when using Samsung Theme Format is that a specific SMT is not associated with the program. This causes the file SMT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Samsung Theme Designer
In this case, you should first verify that the Samsung Theme Designer application is installed on the computer.

Programs to open SMT file
Remember to download programs supporting SMT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Samsung Theme Designer with SMT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SMT file still does not use the Samsung Theme Designer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SMT file with the Samsung Theme Designer application.
Step 3. Update Samsung Theme Designer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Samsung Theme Designer program, it is possible that Samsung Theme Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Samsung Group website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SMT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SMT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SMT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SMT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SMT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Samsung help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SMT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SMT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SMT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SMT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
