How to open 4BT file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 4BT 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 XnView

Programs to open 4BT file
Remember to download programs supporting 4BT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of XnView with 4BT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 4BT file to open in the XnView application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the 4BT file with the XnView application.
Step 3. Update XnView to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the XnView program, it is possible that GoDot Picture Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Pierre-Emmanuel Gougelet page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 4BT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The 4BT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 4BT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 4BT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 4BT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of 4BT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 4BT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted 4BT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 4BT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 4BT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 4BT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
